Dear Sandy The above message was found after already duplicating some of your known information. From your messages, I am guessing you do not have subscription access to the databases cited below. Some public libraries offer (free) AncestryPlus and Heritage Quest --- which cover most of the two databases used to collect this information. If you need tips for further research --- using rootsweb & genforum message boards, you could try advanced search, by clicking on "author" and read subject titles that apply to your needs. You will be able to tell which authors regularly post local-knowledge, or otherwise helpful replies. If you want more of my own answers, usually generic and applicable to other locations --- try the Broward County, FL rootsweb message board --- before January 2003, as time has permitted few replies from me, since then. Wishing you luck, Ruth Source: www.ancestry.com JOHN BUNDREN SSN: 314-09-8560, issued in IN Last residence: 47240 Greensburg, Decatur, Born: 14 Feb 1900 Died: Jul 1975 1930 US Census --- 12 April 1930.
