Another list member pointed out a fact that we all might want to remember and take note of: "The place of birth "IA" could also be Indiana in the older records" ....this is true, good point to remember since we are accustomed to seeing today "IN" for Indiana....and we think of "IA" today as being Iowa. Does anybody know when the designations changed in the census records from IA to IN for Indiana ? Barb in Savannah,GA ^ ^ (@ @ ) =o= \ | | \ m m n \9 ~O&:>
