Hi Karen: There is a May M Steppe in the 1930 Cumberland, Allegany MD census, married to William J. Steppe, born in MD & married to May in 1909. May was born c 1888 in WV. Looking earlier in 1900 for some May Freeland living in WV with a brother William and sister Nellie, I found the family of J.N. & Ida Freeland, with children May, Charley, Earl, and Howard, along with two lodgers, Nellie Fletcher and William Peters. Is it possible this is the family you are seeking? ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Thank you for this census search. My problem has always been that there are too many Mary, Mae, May and Margaret given names in this family. Couple this with the men sometimes known by William J. and then J. William it takes so much sorting out. The 1900 WV family is certainly one to consider. Now how the parents went from J.N. and Ida to Henry and Molly is anyone's guess however. I'm waiting now for the FH to send me the burial records. Maybe seeing them 1st hand will make everything clear. Things get more confusing if someone tells you something over the phone without you having the benefit of a written document in front of you. It is such a blessing that people have taken an interest in my work and are using their available resources trying to help me.
