OK......Shall we all play hard to find.....as our Ancestors sure seem to (LOVE) playing? Should we leave the next Census with no information....like dodge them when we see them coming....not answer the questionnaire? In about 100 years....we know they will be like "US" desperately searching for any remnants they may find..........Leave them with the insatiable desire to find their roots and desperately seeking which Susan? Ha! Susan, Suzanne, Suesan, etc.!! Just venting! Thanks, Fellow desperate searchers :O)

Good venting! My husband gets it all at my house, and it sure is frustrating!! Feel better?! Nancy
I agree that our ancestors play dirty sometimes. I finally after years of hunting nailed the family of my great grandmother. Her name was Nettie Walker, but I finally found her in the 1870 census as Nettie Sperry. Her father died in 1864 in a Confederate prison camp. Her mother remarried to a man named Adelbert Sperry, and the children were listed under that surname. Now, I ask you. Was that fair? Sharon
