There's limited information in Marion County for that far back. I've not had much luck with mine either, but I figured this tool might be helpful to someone. Maybe Euline could give us some tips on sources for deaths in Marion before the official records started.

It's not a complete listing. What I was told by someone at TSLA was that whether a person shows up there or not depends a lot on where they died and whether their family reported the death to the census taker.

So at most it could only reflect 10% of the deaths. Mike & Donna OBrien wrote: > I have a similar thing with my Thompson line.
