This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Norton, Thaxton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Qi3.2ACIB/1888.1 Message Board Post: Have you tried the 1880 census at the LDS site? If you haven't go to: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp and run your great grandmother by her married name. When you click on her name, you'll see the word "household" on the right hand side. Click on it and you'll see the whole family that lived in that house. Next try clicking on next or previous household. Lots of times, relatives lived next door or a couple of houses away from each other. You can also try a Google search. If you have more info post it. The more info you give, the better chance of finding someone who's doing the same family, but perhaps a different line. If you don't want to post it here, email me with it and I will try to help you. Good hunting!
