Are you using her maiden name or her married name? Do you know her father's name? I found most info about my 3rd great grandmother by searching out her father's family and her husband's records. I found her maiden name by searching for 3rd great grandfather in marriage records, that led to her maiden name and I was able to locate her family and her as far back as 1850 in census records. kes in northern ca -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
