Bill, Much of the 1890 census was destroyed. There seem to be a few items that survived, but mostly people have to use other sources to hunt for clues during this period. Do you have any idea of where your William got married or where he died? Census listing go by counties. Also, Rootsweb has county mailing lists that you could join and people that have ancestors in that county could possibly help you. Good luck on your quest! I hope someone else connects with your Gardners. :) - Jean Griesan > ---------- > From: William Horten[SMTP:[email protected]] > Reply To: [email protected] > Sent: Friday, March 30, 2001 1:16 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [GARDNER] Baltimore City /1900/GARDNER > > The Gardner Family of Maryland > > I am looking for the 1890 Census records of ancestor William H.
