Hello Bill! I haven't been able to find an answer to this question, which is a question that has stumped me for some time. The 1850 Census started showing the names of children but I haven't been able to find any names of children in Census records prior to that. If you can find the name of a person in the 1850 Census, you may find the state of their birth, which may help some. Later Census records sometimes show the county they were born in. This doesn't help in identifying siblings, though. If anyone else helps you solve this problem, please pass their advise on to me! Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. "Love Your Freedom?
