I need something like A full name= George Jones Any family =wife and children About what year were they in Hancock Co, That way I can make the right connections. I have census records from early to 1920. and I am always going through them. Please send your information to the list. Maybe someone else has a connection and can help you. Thank you All. Shawnnee >> Shawnee, My grandparents, John and Matilda LIETZ, lived in Hancock County and farmed near Warsaw for a short time. They should have appeared in the 1900 census there but that would be the only federal decennial census taken during the time they were in Hancock County. I have found on the internet a listing to a John Litz with wife Matilda and four children and I think that might have been them but the person who made the entry in the internet database probably misread the census entry or the census taker made an error. Do you see any indication of this census entry? Thank you and keep up the great work, Dennis Lietz
