Melanie, I have no way to find her without checking each Blake head of household to see if she is named as being in the home. I went back and checked all the white Blake families in 1920 Natchitoches and she was not included in any of those. Perhaps they were in a different county. Her death certificate should give the name of her father and that would definitely help in locating her in census. There are over a hundred Blakes indexed in 1920 Louisiana. Sorry I wasn't able to help, Linda in Georgia Census/Cemetery Lookup Volunteer Genealogy is my ONLY business. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ronnie Smith" <ras_mel@bellsouth.net> To: "Linda Murray" <lhmurray@bellsouth.net> Sent: Saturday, September 14, 2002 4:08 PM Subject: Re: [LA-CEN] 1920/Natchitoches/Blake > THANK YOU SO MUCH............YOU'RE AN ANGEL.
