Rene'e, Thanks, I found out how you can get the 1850 census at home but you have to browse all through it and that is time consuming. It has not been indexed yet to add to the others. I found the district that had my hometown on it and enjoyed seeing some of the surnames that are still there today. Also, I found the 1930 census that my Mother enumerated because I knew which district it was. I remember going with her and I would play with the kids of the households while she talked with the adults. She made lifelong friends during her work at Great Crossings, Scott County, KY. It was only about six miles from where we lived. I had to cry when I saw her handwriting. Some people would not answer the door and she would see a curtain move. She would go somewhere and call them if they had a phone and they would answer right away. They wouldn't come to the door because they would think she was trying to sell something. Those were the good old days when I had my Mother and no worries. I will take you up on that offer when I get back to my genealogy and remember what it was I wanted to find in the 1850 census. Until later, Maxine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rene'e Davis" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 3:28 PM Subject: Re: Heritage Quest > Thanks Maxine for the info. > Hey, I have 1850, what do you need? > > Rene'e Davis > ARD, Family Groups > PRA - Group 9 > Pennington Research Association, Inc. > www.penningtonresearch.org > --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Maxine, Don't be sad about the cherished memories. Rejoice that the records your mother complied will live forever. But I fully understand. I remember looking at the 1930 census to find my mother staying with Aunt Martha. When I showed her, she remembered her mother took her there because the house was going to be quarantined due to Meningitis. She had forgotten all about that until I showed her. Just wonderful things like that makes our family mysteries disappear. Just let me know of the 1850 census - okay?
