Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/QJH.2ACIB/296.1 Message Board Post: Can you give us any other clue to your Rufus, etc. age or what county or city/area they lived in at what time? Have you found them on any census records? If I understand you correctly, the surname is spelled BYAR, not Byars. They would still appear in the same census listings. Sue
