Hi List, Thank-you all for confirming what I thought all along. I was beginning to think my brain was going fuzzy with all the data collected over the past couple of years. I had several persons come on in a personal mailing and tell me I could get all kinds of information from the 1840 census. I had always believed that only the head of household was listed by name and the rest by ages. Thanks for confirming what I thought. You all have a nice day and sure hope some of these NY brick walls come tumbling down soon. Sue [email protected]
