Can someone please help me figure out what town Walter Scott (my grandfather) was born in? Per Ancestry.com, North Carolina Birth Index, Catawba County, 1800-2000: Walter Scott: race=C, DOB: 3 Apr 1917, Parents: Andrew W. and Alice Scott. Township: M - Book: 2 - Page: 994. Thank you very much for your time and assistance! Sincerely, Richard Could this be Mountain View or the town of Maiden? See if you can locate him on the 1920 census. Good luck. Cynthia
