Please include a city/county/state, however, with your query. I suggest that you start your search by using the on-line Social Security Death Index, or maybe you have, but you didn't include a place of death in your query; then get the death certificate of your grandfather. Many times the data there is useful; sometimes there are errors or blanks left by the informant. The informant is the key to getting accurate information from a death certificate. Finally, start your U.S. Census search at a library, reading 1920, 1910, 1900, 1880, 1870, etc. (I have joined the digitized census section of www.ancestry.com.) Sixty to seventy percent of what you learn about your family will come from your census searching. I am stuck with the 1840 census, City of St. Louis, MO. And my guy is too young to be the head of a household in 1830, prior to residence in St. Louis, and even though I can document five deaths in the family between 1850 and 1884, not one of them was included in the published Coroner's Report of St. Louis, 1850-1900. I have an 1871 and an 1884 death certificate, City of St. Louis. Neither of them is half way complete. And the birth place for the mother is listed as U.S.--very informative. My interest is as high as ever, however, as I've found a few more bits and pieces during the past three years.
