Dora, Most of those "compiled church records" run from 1681-1800. The four volumes in my collection do.

From 1850 and 1860 census, Thomas Moore was born about 1820-25, and Emaline or Emeline was born about 1828-31. Their first child, William, was born in early 1850, according to 1850 census, though 1860 census has him 12 years old. The 1860 census had only the age of my great grandfather, who was eleven months old, right. Thanks alot! Yours, Dora Smith __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
