Nov 1899 6/12, S, MI MI OH If you're not familiar with the 1900 census, the "M 23" means Married for 23 years, "MI NY NY" means that Lyman was born in Michigan, his father b. in New York, his mother born in New York This could be the parents and siblings of your Lyman Sweet born in OH in 1879 *IF* Polly is a nickname for Amelia. I also have: 1900 U.S. CENSUS: Dayton Twp., Newaygo Co., Michigan; 25 Jun 1900, SD 9, ED 91, Page 94A, Dwelling 181, Household 181: with the Henderson family Sweet, Lavena servant W F, July 1875, 24, M 2, MI OH OH Since she has been married for 2 years, this fits with your Verna Millard. Perhaps her name was Laverna ???? I don't have Lyman Sweet (b. 1879) on the census in this location. I am not related to any of these SWEETS. I only have this info. as I was copying *any* Sweets when I was looking for someone else. Good luck in your search. -- Virgene Travis
