Hey Barbara, I understand! My father was orphaned at 2œ in 1919. He lived with his maternal grandparents. Who did your father live with between 1916-1920? Have you joined the COLE and PAYNE surname mailing list? Have you checked www.genforum.com for your surnames? How old were your great grandparents in 1870? Do you mean the 1880 census instead of the 1890 census? Have you checked for the siblings of your grandparents who died? Where were they? Have you checked for the siblings of your great grandparents? Where were they? You can't find great grandparents after 1900? Why do you believe they died after 1900? Could they have died and been buried in Missouri?
