Ancestry.com has the 1820 census as does the National Archives and the LDS. However, children aren't listed. Your best source is church records, possibly also wills. The LDS may have some of these records. --- Larry <ditvenet@ezsg.com> wrote: > I am trying to find the parents of Joseph Sweet. > Joseph SWEET was born about 1816 in Philadelphia, > Pennsylvania.

One other suggestion: have you learned who is buried with Joseph? You might find that his parents or siblings are buried with him; in that case, it may lead to at the very least more clues. Have you checked the Greenwood Cemetery records? I believe they are available on film by the LDS; they are on permanent loan at the FHC I use (unless I'm confusing them w/a similarly named cemetery).
