Karen, What is your ggrandfather's name?? If he died in MO there is a website where you might find his certificate to verfy the parents. http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates/ You might also try www.familysearch.org for free 1880 census online.? I found a Bell Barnes age 23 in 1880 At www.allencountyky.com you will find most census records for Allen County. 1870 is only partially recorded. >From your ggrandfather's 1900-1930 census records, what state does he give his mother was born?
