Good morning List, First I would like to thank Jean for her reply and suggestions, Thanks Jean! And to say that I did after all find my Thomas McMullen still alive in 1901 census but he is listed as a widower so I will take your suggestions, Jean, and try to locate or pin down his wife's ( Susan McMullen nee Delmadge) death date. Once again, Thanks for the help! Connie --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? With a free 1 GB, there's more in store with Yahoo! Mail.
