Bill, Thank you for the marriage and birth records. Now to find the father's (John Alexander son of Alexander and Alicia born Jan 1844 {from 1900 census}) birth record, and more importantly from where in Ireland the parents came. Maybe then I can find the Irish connection!! Don't expect that to happen though. Thank you again for the information.

Have you tried checking NARA ,for a Naturalization Record ? Sometimes this will have where and when a person came over . Bill Keough <<<< Bill, Thank you for the marriage and birth records.

Susan, The 1900 census that is tells you - where they came from, ie: Cork when they arrived here and when and if they were naturalized. The following site explains what is on all of them. http://www.allcensus.com/whatsin.html Hope this helps.... Jean You can discover the following about an ancestor in the 1900 U.S. Census: • State, county, and township of residence • Street and house number (where available) • Relationship to head-of-household • Gender and ethnicity • Month and year of birth and age at last birthday • Birthplace • Marital status and, if married, length of marriage • For married women, number of children born and number living • Birthplace of mother and father • For aliens or naturalized citizens, year of immigration and citizenship status • Occupation of each person 10+ years and number of months not employed • Information about school attendance and literacy • Information about home ownership or farm residence -------Original Message------- From: Susan Sherman Date: 03/05/05 05:27:25 To: RIPROVID-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [RIPROVID] John Alexander Lind Bill, Thank you for the marriage and birth records.
