Is there anyone on the list who provide me with information on PLEASANT BOLEN? Son of Alfred. The information I have says that he married NANCY TRENT in Hawkins County 1866 then NAOMI JACKSON 1867 in Hancock county Indiana. In following him across the US to CA ( I am pretty sure its him) it seems he has a wife Nancy into 1910. That is where I have lost him. Anyone have information on him? Is there death index for CA from 1910 on? The only one I found started in 1940. Thanks Paula Johnson -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
