Carolyn, If You have Ancestry census? If you know about where she lived? Put in the given name HARRIET, You may need to scroll several pages? That's how I found a couple of people They were hard to read so index wrong. They had TARR as Tare with a / in front of the T it looked like a G so was indexed as Gare, now indexes as Sare???. The second was FINCH and indexes as Finck. Good luck with your search. Iris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn K.
