My sister and I have different fathers and I am trying to help her find her father's family history information. She knows her dad was named Eddie and his dad was Orville HARRIS. Eddie was in the army at Fort Knox. She can't remember her grandmother's name but the census information I show her for the Orville Harris men I have found she says is not the right person. I'm stumped and haven't much to go on. She knows she has at least two aunts; one married a man whose surname is/was NACKE and the other married a name whose surname is/was WILSON. She believes the man I found in the kentucky death records (orville harris) who died in 1977 is the right guy. If so, he was born 22 Feb 1886 and died Nov 1977. The records show a D. for a middle initial; however, when I show her the census information for this guy she says it is the wrong guy, wrong wife, wrong kids. We know he lived out in the valley station area, maybe shively area before that. This needle in the haystack is giving me a headache. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could proceed? Pam

What census info have you found where, and what time frame are we talking that Eddie Harris would of been born?
