Maddox in 1900 in Caddo Parish. According to my mother, he married 3 or 4 times. I believe that Millie had to have died around 1885 or 1890.

Human interest stories, births, marriages, accidents, marathon races, property transactions, etc. etc. can have a person's name and town. OBITUARIES -- not the person's, necessarily, although he/she may have passed away, but parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. You don't even need to know their names. Put the person's name (that you're seeking) in as a keyword, not as the deceased. Often the living relatives are mentioned, along with their spouse and residence. Your local library may have subscriptions to the big obituary aggregate sites. BLOGS -- If someone is writing about this person or if they have their own blog, you may find them. Try http://blogsearch.google.com. Sometimes you can use just a surname and a town or workplace or interest, etc. PROPERTY RECORDS at the county where they are most likely to be. Some counties allow searching by surname. STATE PROFESSIONAL REGULATION DEPARTMENTS, if his/her profession (or hobby, like flying) is one that needs to be licensed (You would be surprised at how many do!) STATE CORPORATION DATABASES, if he/she is likely to have his own business -- likewise, the Better Business Bureau. US SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMISSION - All companies, foreign and domestic, are required to file registration statements, periodic reports, and other forms electronically through EDGAR. If the person is an executive, you might find them. See www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml COURTS in the county/state where he or she is most likely to be. I found someone because they had a traffic ticket listed! You would be surprised at how much is online. Don't skip any "probate" courts even if you know they're alive - probate courts can have birth and marriage records, too. VOTER REGISTRATION RECORDS -- SOME counties allow you to search by name! Some you need more info such as SSN or birthdate. STATE INCARCERATION RECORDS - Unfortunately, some folks do wind up in jail! Look up the state's Department of Corrections. Most allow online searches now. ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS -- Sometimes they will post member's names or newsletters online. Also try "class mates" type sites. LOST FAMILY AND FRIENDS MESSAGE BOARDS - Try these: http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.lost-f. http://www.yourfamily.com/lost_family.ht. I've concentrated on online searching, but there are other methods as well. There are also excellent books re: Locating Lost Family Members and Friends. I hope one of these works for you! Good luck!

I believe he was born in 1857. I am also trying to find the birth records of his siblings Elizabeth Anne (1845-ish) and Rebecca (1847-ish). I can find birth records for all the children except for the three born in Bromley Middlesex. Does anyone know whether birth records were lost/destroyed for the 1840s and 1850s in Bromley Middlesex.

I had my husband type it out while I was driving and he failed to submit the post. OOPS! I appreciate all of your help! There is only one female that lived to be married. Maria Marguerite who married William Blondin in Maniwaki, Quebec in 1918. In the 1901 Canadian Census, her name was transcribed as Omerine. I was able to make the assumption that this was her as her sister Olivine died as a child and the birthdates for Omerine and Maria Marguerite are the same. There are no grandchildren that I have found that have Catherine Brouillard as the Godmother. Thanks again! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Please change the subject lines when you send a reply to the board. It is extremely difficult to connect a reply to an earlier message without going through all them searching for the connection. It also makes future searches from the archives less successful when no surnames appear in the subject or body. Thanks for helping me keep up with connecting the data you all are contributing. It IS appreciated. LABC On Jul 14, 2010, at 3:02 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > > Today's Topics: > > 1. Re: Willing to do lookups ([email protected]) > 2.
