I did a quick 1860 census search of the Kansas Territory on ancestry.com and could find no Joseph Bertrand, even by soundex, around that age. In fact I could not find a Joseph age 65 to 75 with a name anything close to Bertrand. Larry Friend (Black Buffalo) niidji@mchsi.com -----Original Message----- From: James P.
