    1. [ROGERS] Re: Lucy Rogers born c 1878 Ohio
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EkDBAIB/5750.1 Message Board Post: Karen, at www.familysearch.org there is an 1880 census search link (free). It is possible to put in the name of the child, where the child was born and an approximate age. That can often be helpful in finding the name of parents. I put in the name Lucy Rogers, born United States, born Ohio, birth date 1878, plus or minus 2 years. Only one Lucy Rogers was shown. Did she use the name Lucy in all 3 of the census records you have? If so, this might be a very good possibility. 1880 Ohio, Warren County, Waynesville. Head of the Household, William Rogers, age 62, b. OH; both parents b. NJ Sarah E. Rogers, wife, age 43, b. OH; both parents b. TN William Rogers, son, age 22, b. OH; both parents b. OH Lucy Rogers, daughter, age 3, b. OH, both parents b. OH I tried the same procedure for Don (and Donald) Roseberry but did not find him. Could he have been born after the 1880 census? The variation in the spelling of his name would not have mattered because the search takes into account spellings with the same sound.
