Thank you. I wasn't sure with it being such an old posting. Here's the scoop... my mother-in-law (she's in her 90's) is wanting to find information on her father Robert Louis Powell. He was hard to find, but this morning through Ancestry I finally found him on 2 Census records living in the home of his Uncle, William H. Billington. They are the 1900 and 1910 census. Do you have ANY info that can help me with the Powells? Of course I need the Billingtons also, but finding it all this morning is still all new to me. Her father was listed as "Louis" (his middle name so I thought) and his brother Charles is also with him on the 1900 census. I already had his 1920 and 1930 census but was stumped on finding the older ones til today. I understand most all the men in the family worked for the Rail Road.
