Hello all: I have run into a situation where I know where an entire family is buried, except for the father (James O'Meara). I can't find him anywhere in the county. His wife and son are buried at Lycurgus, but I find no evidence of his burial anywhere in Allamakee County. On another branch, I have a wife who died. (Hannah Garvin/Gavin McLaughlin). The husband remarried. I can find him, his second wife, and several of his children, but no sign of the first wife. I realize it is possible that the father, above, moved to another county, but he would have been leaving his wife behind at an elderly age. I also realize that that first wife may have died elsewhere and been buried elsewhere, but I find no indication of that, either. These seem the least likely. what seems more likely is that record-keepers were inconsistent or inadequate. So has anybody else had ancestors who vanished?
