Would anyone on the list know if there is any filming or records of death in Genese Co during the years 1870-1895. If so would the FHC have these or would there be some other area to check. I have been unsucessful in finding when a GGfather died. (MESSNER, Jakob/Jacob, born in Germany, 1825-1829, emmigrated to USA in 1853) It shows on 1870 census that he and wife lived in Batavia , he was a farmer. There were no children in the household, altho, a daughter worked for the Tripp family as a servant in Byron, at the time. It's only a guess that Byron wasn't too far from Batavia. And I believe the son was in NYC area. The wife later moved to NJ and was found in 1900 census but nothing between 1870 and 1900. Thanks for any help, in advance. P
