This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3AB.2ACI/6877.1 Message Board Post: Hello, Regarding your look up posting for "a" George A. SMITH in the 1880 in Harlan, Perry or Clay Co.'s, I would venture to say there are literally dozens of them in those three counties alone. There is a FREE 1880 Federal census available to all through the Church of Later Day Saints/LDS and Ancestry.com. Just go to their sites and you will be able to search for yourself. Another route would be for you to return to your original posting here and respond to that posting by adding in some addition information. That information would be giving us the approx. age of your George SMITH, the name of his wife, the names of any children you know who would be around in 1880 or his parents' if he was not out of the house. DO NOT assume that because George A. SMITH had a middle initial that he used it. As your query is written, we would not be able to even know if we had the correct George SMITH. Good luck to you.
