Looking for any information on HOUSE families from Decatur Co., IA. Specifically looking for information on Maud HOUSE b. March 1874, who was my g gm, adopted by Samuel H. & Emeline Bright HINDS. She was adopted at about age 3 1/2 and was age 6 on the 1880 Woodland, Decatur Co., IA census. She is my brick wall. She could have been descended from HAUSE or HASS lines for all I know. I suspect her parents came from Indiana where the HINDS family came from. I recently remembered looking at a list my grandmother had in Phoenix when I was nine, after grandpa died and I remember seeing Hartford on it which reminded me of those plastic fire hats Hartford Insurance used to give out. Perhaps she descended from a CT or NY HOUSE line, I don't know. Emeline BRIGHT is in Rick Albright's lines so if anyone finds information I would appreciate if you got back to me or Rick. Rick and I have Maud's picture to compare to any HOUSE's you may find. Thanks, I appreciate your time.
