I sent this in to the list and it bounced. I reckon it is because of the link. But because it is such a cool tool, I am going to put it in not as a link. You can cut and paste it in your browser. Anyway... Using the calculator on this page http://www.measuringworth.com/uscompare/ you can tell how much money your ancestors really had by today's standards. It puts it in perspective.

I am hoping that someone on the list has located William and Julia Kilgore on the 1850 Census. I believe he was born around 1828 - 1830 and Julia was born 1827. I find them on the 1860 Census with the last name spelled Kilgoer living in District 3, Marion County, TN and their post office was Cheekville. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Shirley Kilgore Knight
