And on the same note as John O'Brien stated: in looking in the 1880 Census online at: http://www.familysearch.org I entered Goodale in the continuous search for my ggGrandfather, Stephen and family in Missouri and found that the State Penitentiary, Jefferson City, Cole County, Missouri is enumerated with all prisoners. You can scan thru the list if you enter James FAHY as he is listed as the head. Perhaps you'll find a skeleton in your closet too :) Marie "The ground on which we stand is sacred ground.
