Surnames: Smith Classification: Birth Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Zg.2ADI/790 Message Board Post: I'm looking for census or birth records in McHenry county or Woodstock county seat for Otis Smith. He was born Nov 2, 1846. We were always told he was born in Indiana, but now believe he was born here. Any help would be appreciated.

McHenry County births were not recorded until 1877 and it's too early for a notice in the newspapers. Do you know what religion the family was?
