Hi: If you go to: http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/usa.html and type in "Hinds" you'll find Hinds in: Troy Free Press Lincoln County Mo -Jan 1914 The New Albany Ledger-Standard - Mar 1881 Floyd Co. New Albany, IN (This same paper had a Hines in a later date issue so don't rely on the spelling) The San Diego Union San Diego CA November 14 1868 Russian River Flag Healdsburg CA June 4 1874 And don't look just in the areas where you have ancestors. For example this Hines lady from Kansas City was named in a Nevada newspaper: Rich Hill Mining Review Vol. XXIII, No. 47, August 27, 1903, p. 3 "Miss Ida Hines, who has been the guest of Rich Hill relatives and friends, returned to her home at Kansas City by this morning's Frisco" Regards, Nan Wolf [email protected]
