One of the other things to remember is you can be very creative using this index. For example: I was looking for my gg-grandmother's brother Albert VANOMMEN in New York State and couldn't find him. Since I knew he should be in Auburn, Cayuga County, NY, I entered that location and only his first-name Albert. I found him (and his wife and four daughters) indexed with the surname VANONEMEN. As an unexpected plus, I found 6-year-old Albert WHITE, who twenty years into the future was married to my grandmother's first cousin Bertha MARKS.

Hi Bob- You've probably heard by now that the LDS website is http://familysearch.org. On the left hand menu you'll see "US 1880, British and Canadian 1881 Censuses " I' ve been using the 1880 census quite a lot, and I've found that the search function, being based on transcriptions, is sometimes unsuccessful. I finally found one family by searching on the wife's name instead of the husband - and sometimes the children's names are more successful. Also, you may not want to limit it to one particular state and county, since you could be wrong about that. After you find the person you're looking for, look at the right hand side of the screen and click on "household" to see the rest of the family and other data. You can also explore the neighborhood by clicking "previous household" and "next household." Enjoy!

I will look up everyone's requests. I am slower that anticipated because my daughter is getting married on Saturday and I have been busy. I will get to all the requests as soon as I can.

I'd love whatever is listed -- you see, my grandfather was the son of two Watson parents -- in turn, his mother Sinia (Sina) was the daughter of two Watson parents -- The families moved back and forth between Crawford and Venango (Oilcreek Twp.)

OK, here's the scoop: 1) Go to familysearch.org 2) Click on the "Search" tab at the top. 3) In the left side of the page, click on "Census" 4) There will now be a place where you have to say which census (1880 U.S., 1881 British, or 1881 Canadian). Click on 1880 U.S. and wait for it to load. 5) Enter the info about your ancestor. I'd enter as little as possible, considering the inaccuracies of censuses. Like, first and last name, and the place you think they were living in 1880. The search will return possibilities, and you click on them (if there's more than one!) until you find the right family. Good Luck!! Let me know privately if you need more help.

Just wanted to add that it has an every-name index, so you don't need to know someone's parents to find them in the census.

Correct typo in previous info: newspapers, not newwpapers! ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2003 4:11 PM Subject: Re: [Crawf'rd] Can anyone help? Obituary look-up Joyce, somewhere on the web there is a site of obits from the Linesville Paper. It may be in there. The problem is I've lose the address. Can anyone help with the address? Good Luck, Todd ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joyce Anthony" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2003 9:14 PM Subject: [Crawf'rd] Can anyone help? Obituary look-up > Hi listers -- I was wondering if anyone has ready access to newspaper obits in the Conneaut Lake are for the period of August 1899 to June 1900? I have several Watson families all mixed up together and can't find any information on my great-great grandfather, John Wesley Watson -- at this point, all I have is his name as the father of William R. Watson --His wife, Margaret Christine Watson, was listed as a widow on 1900 census -- when William was one month old, so I figure the death of John Wesley had to have ocurred between the above dates. I would be so greatful if someone could help me. Thank you!!! > Joyce > > > ==== PACRAWFO Mailing List ==== > ~~ The List GOLDEN RULE ~~ > Keep to genealogy, history, anything ancestor!
