My Grandmother states in all the census records and also on her death certt. she was born in Kansas. What county or city I do not know. She was born in 1832 if the date is correct. Her mother and father were George W. West and Caroline M. Harless West. I believe they were traveling to Texas, as each of their children were born in a different state, and their last one was born in Texas where he purchased land in Texas and stayed until their deaths. Is there any way Kansas might have birth records going back that far? If anyone knows of a place I might be able to locate them would you please let me know, I would appreciate it. wrak
