Posted on: VanBuren Co. Ia Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/VanBuren/11365 Surname: LAUGHLIN, SCHWARTZ ------------------------- I have a Hugh LAUGHLIN who married a Mary E. SCHWARTZ. As I have both names, and many others in Van Buren Co., I wondered if this might be one of your Hugh's. Mary was probably born after 1828 which is the marriage date of her parents. She has two siblings with the birthdates of 1832 and 1842. Would any of this be in your time frames? sherri
