Hi all, I'm in the process of looking for just about all Adams in the U.S. on the 1900 census. Trying to find Adam Grimsley. I found one 1870 record for his father Nelson under the last name Gimoley instead of Grimsley! So, I sent a correction to Ancestry. This 1870 census was taken in Oxford, Johnson Co., Kansas. By 1880, Nelson had his daughter "Delia" or Cordelia and her family with him in Austin, Cass Co., Missouri. I just wanted to mention that Adam GREENE of Beaver Dam, Watauga, NC, is transcribed for the 1900 census on Ancestry.com as Adam Grune! Everyone in the family is listed under the wrong surname. I sent a correction, but I wanted to let everyone know in case you're looking for them on Ancestry. This sort of thing happens a lot, which is why I'm looking simply for all Adams b. 1849 in NC, at this point. You just never know how their names will be transcribed! Kind regards, Michelle

I have an idea. Since we know the census takers are human as we are, try looking for a man named Grimsley Adams. You never can tell. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michelle Ligon" <mich9118@bellsouth.net> To: <ncwataug@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 9:56 PM Subject: [NCWATAUG] Greene > Hi all, > > I'm in the process of looking for just about all Adams in the U.S. on the > 1900 census.
