Hi, Pat! Welcome to the Laird list. That was my post you answered. By the way, I am planning a research trip to Kansas, and to order some microfilm on interlibrary loan. Let's communicate about things we both need. What township did James and Julia Hammond live in? I want to search the Kansas State Census - knowing the township will certainly help cut down lost time.
