It hasn't been changed. Sorry about the trouble. Thanks sooo much for the information! Now I have some good information to add to the family tree! Wonderful! One favor to ask-if you ever are looking in the census records, could you if you could find them? Only if it isn't out of your way or any trouble. Don't want you to get burned out again so soon! If you are unable to, that is OK. I understand. Thanks again for the info! Sorry again about the trouble with the email. Maybe I had a typo---it's julesaj@mailcity.com Julie Joseph

I've been doing this off and on for 25 years and I can't begin to repay the help and favors I've been given. I saw your earlier post and didn't find anything. Just to be sure I've just rechecked and nothing on those names. There are a lot of Allen's in Boulder Co but I didn't find any mention of those names or of any Allen/Alen/Allan/Allan in Lafayette. All were Valmont , Boulder or Longmont. Which just means they could have moved but it makes me suspect that yours arrived after 1900 (as far as the abstracts go). Wish I could have been of more help.

Betty, Am just now getting back into the hobby after burning myself out a few years ago. Have copies of some wonderful books of newspaper extracts that Mary McRoberts did in 1991. They cover the period 1859-1900 and one is : "Boulder County, Colorado / Marriages, Anniversaries, Divorces, Births and Birthdays / 1859-1900 / Newspaper Abstracts / Mary McRoberts / Boulder, Co/ July 1991" And the other is : "Boulder County, Colorado / Deaths and the Insane / 1859-1900 / Newspaper Abstracts / Mary McRoberts / Boulder, Co / July 1991" I am not in Boulder Co. and the only books I have are pre 1900. When was your grandfather born ? I've found alot of marriages in the 1890s but no births , which makes me a little suspicious. Do you have any idea what county your grandfather was born in ? Perhaps one of the two following cousins married in Boulder and then moved elsewhere ? There are marriage notices for - 1. Florence A. Schofield "of Canfield" and Ross T. DeArmond "editor of Longmont Times" in Boulder on March 3, 1891. 2.Double wedding - Elmer L. Schofield and Emma L. Prince and his cousin and her sister Alphonso Schofield and Mollie M. Prince. At the brides home "near Erie" on Feb 11, 1892. 3. Charlotte L. Schofield "of Canfield" and C. E. Prince on Feb 24, 1896. Now my standard disclaimers - Not all newspapers from that period survived . And I've found not all births were recorded , this was more a social thing than a vital records thing. So no record of births is not conclusive. But I would check the next county where you find record of him. And I have no idea if this is your line or not. I'm always surprised at how common most names are. Really hopes this helps. Just found info on my maternal grandfather (after 25 years of looking) , so I know how frustrating it can be. David Knowles

I found the marriage announcement for Mary - says she was married "at home of brides parents near Boulder." There were a number of entries for brothers Frank and (John) Lawrence Moorhead who appear to be of the same age as Mary. Then there was this entry in the obits - "Moorhead, Mr. d 1 May 1885 Montgomery, MO. His son J.L. Moorhead of Boulder left Boulder 1 May to see his dying father." 3.
