Hi Diane, We need you to pick one year and repost. Most people find it easier to start with something like the 1930 (which is an every name index on Ancestry as is 1860, 1870 and 1880) and work backward but you can start anywhere you would like. We request one year at a time because we don't all have access to all the years and by doing it one at a time so each volunteer knows immediately which ones they can do the lookup for and it also becomes confusing as to which year has been answered and which hasn't in a multiple post of years. Items that help us in the lookups besides location are names, ages, and places of birth of family members you might expect to find in the household. We also request only one or two posts a day. We look forward to helping you find your family. Rose ----- Original Message ----- > Hello , I'm new to this list ! In great need of any info on the Sturgis family !
