Good morning List, A couple of days ago, the following submission was gatewayed onto the Kings County, NS list... "I am descended from Ephraim Wood through his son William (b. 1787) and his grandson Laurence (b. 25 Oct., 1815). Laurence was the oldest of William and his wife Margaret Butler's children. Laurence married Pauline Parker (b. 2 June 1816 and d. 12 March 1902 in Pringle, South Dakota, USA) and they had 7 children." We can see Pauline Wood in the 1900 census residing in Custer with her daughter, Bertha. Since records only began to be kept officially in 1905, we are out of luck for Pauline's parents... officially. Is there another way to discover Pauline's mom and dad Parker?? Thank you. Eric
