    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JOY.2ACEB/911.1 Message Board Post: This investigation seems to be resistant to any efforts toward progress, but I still may have a little news for you. Considering that George Geiger was still working in the 1940s, there should be some possibility that he is listed in the Social Security Death Index. There are not many George Geigers, born in the 1880s give or take a little and died in the 1960s. However it's difficult to see any that seem to match, but you might take a look. I did find a 1910 Census listing for Mildred Mills and I'll put up copies if you want. Unfortunately, like so much else, it is not as helpful as it could be. 1910 Census 3rd Ward Findlay, Hancock Co., OH Emma Mills, age 11; Mildrid Mills, age 12; Bessie Mills, age 6; and Earl Mills, age 4. All are listed as 'inmates' in an orphan's home, born in US, both parents US. (But who was the source of this information?) Combined with the fact that Robert was born in Hancock Co., this suggests a good probability that George & Mildred were married in Hancock Co. and that you could get a copy of their marriage license there. However, even if parental information is required on the marriage license, which I can't say either way, I would be more surprised by a treat than by another trick. On the other hand, it looks a lot like this is a possible source of information that you cannot afford to pass by. If you keep on swinging, you're bound to hit one eventually. In the 1900 Census for Hancock Co., there are three MILLS, one MILLES and one MILES, none of which match info for Mildred & Emma. Regards, Richard
