Does anyone know where Olean is or was? I would like to find this Field family in a census but haven't had any luck in Iowa or Missouri. "Olean claims the champion big family of the country, the head of which is W.A. Field. He is the happy father of 31 children, twenty-seven of whom live at home with papa and mamma. The father is 57 years old and the interesting brood consists of three sets of quadruplets, five sets of triplets, three sets of twins, while one by some strange mishap came into the world singly. Thirty-one of these children are living eight being boys. - -Ridgeway Evening Star."
What you need to find the answer to this is Town/County search: http://resources.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/townco.cgi. There is an Olean in Colfax and Valley Counties, Nebraska, as well as in Miller Couny, Missouri, Ripley County, IN, and more. Best wishes, Greta Thompson IAGenWeb There us an Olean in N ----- Original Message ----- From: "LaWanda Nepstad" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 1:28 PM Subject: [IOWA] Iowa Old Press - Olean | Does anyone know where Olean is or was?
