Hi Gloria -- re your query below: You found a woman about 64 but expected someone about 26. 1. the 1850 census on the GenExchange site is incomplete -- not all towns have been entered into the database. Work on it has ceased for now. So the surname you searched for delivered incomplete county results. The woman who really is your g-g-grandparent might have lived in one of the towns not yet in the database. 2. Given the age difference from your expectation, it is possible the woman you found is really a parent (or even grand parent) of your g-g-grandparent. You should look at a complete county 1850 census, and NOT rely on the present on-line 1850 database. Check also in the State 1845 & 1855 census... You did not give any details about the name of your relative or of who you found, birthplaces etc, so little more specific help can be given.... Good luck, nevertheless.// Gord Hines (in Regina SK Canada) Gloria wrote: Subject: [jeffcofamhis] Re: GenExchange Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2000 06:33:04 -0500 From: gbc <gbc@frontiernet.net> Reply-To: jeffcofamhis@egroups.com To: jeffcofamhis@egroups.com CC: "NYJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com" <NYJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com> > Hi, Finally had a chance to visit this site and look around.
