Edna, Thanks again for the information. I tried to take everything and put it together and updated part one. Just sent that message so you should have it. As for James - son of Robert H. Ivester - the last time I have him is in the 1880 census. He is not listed with Robert and Susannah in 1900 or 1910. But... as you can see in that message I just checked and found Bessie (Rebecca Beatrice) in the 1910 census with her parents and listed as single. I tried every variation I could think of for Ivester and James/Jim/J., etc in the 1910 census index on Heritage Quest site and did not find James at all. Any ideas????
