Hello [I don't have a name as to whom I am writing] So far I am batting zero in finding any census records for your DOUGLAS family......... Do you have any death certificates that has birth and death dates and places............ Have you located any census records for any of the DOUGLAS family and if so, what census year and which county, etc........ In most cases the best way to find family is to start with known dates and places and then locate the individuals in the most current census [1930] and then *armed* with the info from that census you can then go backwards, 1920, 1910, 1900, etc....... I did look at all the census records of William DOUGLAS's in the 1900 Missouri records....... None of them match your names....... I'll try later tonight....... however addl info would help, Janet ----- Original Message ----- From: "saywho" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 4:41 AM Subject: Re: [MOIRON] Douglas in Census | Thank you for your help.

I've found a | contact with that family and am watching my mailbox. | |

Janet, Would you believe there are no Douglas family indexed in the 1880 census of Missouri?

I quickly put together a webpage with my information. Some of it may be missing, but I did this over lunch time and will work on it more later. Sorry, it looks sloppy. But it will give you an idea of what dates I have, which are few. I just embarked on this branch, so I don't have much. That is why I'm looking in the census. I'm sure the children are even out of order and figured the census could give me approximate dates and put the children in order. But I can't find anything in the census. http://treadways.homestead.com/homepage.html I'll try to update it better tonight. All the #2's under the #1 are their children. All the #3's under a #2 (up til the next #2) are their children. I'm not sure about any of my information. I've just been collecting and putting things in places I thought appropriate. I'm not even sure if their name is with one 's' or two (Douglass). I tried that in the census to and came up empty. I believe it is one though, because that is where the SS index had them. Thanks for your help and concerns. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janet" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 9:16 AM Subject: Re: [MOIRON] Douglas in Census > Hello [I don't have a name as to whom I am writing] > > So far I am batting zero in finding any census records for your DOUGLAS > family.........

Here's my new link. I'm working on the pages, they look a little better. I deleted the old page because I was organizing them in a different way. http://treadways.homestead.com/index.html Going to work on uploading photos shortly. My newly found cousin submitted some information since my last posting. So there is new information uploaded and also a better order of the children. She also told me that her records indicate that Gennie and Clifford were born out of wedlock by Margaret. Maybe folks who are reporting to me are getting their information mixed up as some of them are reporting from memory. None of this information is verified, except that I found Lucille and Gilbert's marriage certificate, which shows they both were from Caledonia, and also Jessie Mae's birth certificate. Thanks so much for everyone who has helped me. It never ceases to amaze me how folks help others just because they enjoy it. I've been trying to volunteer to look-up in my own city, but haven't found many needy people as of yet. I just want to complete the circle. If you've helped me, may it come back to you full circle!

Hello......... Well, well....... finally I'm getting somewhere...... I found your Gennie DOUGLAS, Gennie's husband Gilbert SCHNELL and their children in the 1910 Census...... I'm assuming that you have access to the US Federal Census........ You shouldn't have any problems locating this family from the info listed below....... You're in for a suprise with just this one census........ William and Margaret's daughter Margaret, born CA 1890 is also living in this house and has a different married name then what you have....... Janet Gilbert L. Schnell found in: Census Microfilm Records: Missouri, 1910 Age: 32 Gender: M Race: W Birthplace: IL State: Missouri County: ST LOUIS Locale: 17-WD ST LOUIS Series: T624 Roll: 819 Part: 2 Page: 148A E.D.: 271 Sheet: 5-A Lines: 2 thru 9 Printed Page No.: 148-A >>>>NOTE: Margaret, Gennie's sister, is living here with the last name of BELCHER (sp?) and with her child Mable BELCHER, 9/12 months old.......
