Clair, Please don't look at misinformation as misleading to anyone. Yesterday I was helping a lady who lives in MI track down her g-grandmother in OH, and all she knew was the name, her husband's name, that she died in 1910, and they moved around alot. Their names were Silas and Emma. I found them in the 1900 census with no problem. However, they are in the 1910 census as Scilal and Erma. The names of their children helped me identify them and from there I found Emma's, Silas', and one of her children's graves, with birthdates inscribed. One of the first things I learned was to look for ANY possible spelling variation (there are at least 8 for my McWhorter line). The second thing I learned is that census takers back then didn't always get it right. Even if you transcibe it according to the record, it may have been written down wrong. For those of us from other states, we would be truely thankful to all of you who are willing to help get this information online!
