Hi All Someone sent this to one of my list. I heard something really neat at my FHC this evening. Someone said that sometimes, a census taker would ask a person to state their age in terms of how old they were as of, for example, March 1. (Assume the census is being taken on July 1, 1860.) The person might say 32 years old, but really when he is answering the question, he is really 33, only his birthdate was after March 1. If you didn't know this, you would see 32 in the census and assume he was born in 1848. But suppose the previous time around in 1850, the census taken just asked for the person's age on the day the census is being taken. Say it is being taken on July 1 again. This time, the person will give his correct age as 23, and now if you calculate when he was born, you'd assume the person was born in 1847. The person at the FHC said this is one reason why the ages of people in the census records sometimes don't match from census to census.

Hi If the person that is working on this is on the list can you email me pleas BATON ROUGE GAZETTE. Compilation of information from pages of the "Baton Rouge Gazette," beginning around 1827 up to around 1850. A work in progress, it currently includes marriages and deaths from 1827-1829 from East Baton Rouge and surrounding parishes. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~brgazette/brgazette.htm Charlotte Sehon Baton Rouge

What papers were printed for the Frierson/Mansfield area in 1903-1904 which is the time of his death. I am in Houston so do not know which papers for that region in that time span. -----Original Message----- From: A-mae-znCajun@webtv.net [mailto:A-mae-znCajun@webtv.net] Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2001 9:01 AM To: LA-CEMETERIES-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [LA-CEMETERIES] Offering to do look ups at the library Wonder about newspapers of that time? th obits? alice ==== LA-CEMETERIES Mailing List ==== To UNSUBSCRIBE from LIST -mailto:LA-CEMETRIES-L-REQUEST@rootsweb.com To UNSUBSCRIBE from DIGEST - mailto:LA-CEMETRIES-D-REQUEST@rootsweb.com Leave Subject Line empty * Put Only: UNSUBSCRIBE in body of message ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237

Wonder about newspapers of that time? th obits? alice

I currently have this information. I appreciate you letting me know about the site. My Odum connection goes to John O. Odum and his son John Wesley Odum. I am curious as to whether or not an article was written up on John W. Odum's murder as family lore shows he was shot while reading the newspaper. Thanks again.

Let me know what you can find on John O. Odum and his offsprings. He lived in Rapide Parish, Winn Parish and DeSoto Parish. His son John W. Odum was killed in Frierson and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery. I would appreciate any info you may find on the Odum family if you have the time. Thanks again. Charles E.
