Thank You Charles Vanorsdale for the lead on the Vanarsdale's in my family, I have indeed connected the Vanarsdell's in the 1860 Cherokee County, TX Census, to the Vanasodall's (same people) on the 1875 Osage County, Kansas Census to my Vanarsdale's. Does anyone know where I can view a copy of the TX Census? My Kansas census shows the Vanasodall's from Kentucky and I show them from the Bedford Kentucky area but am not able to find any record. My records; Priestly Vanarsdale, Sr. born abt 1818 married Nancy ? Vanarsdale born abt 1835 Robert W Vanarsdale b abt 1852 Priestly Vanarsdale, Jr. born abt 1854 Nora Ann Vanarsdale b 10-29-1855, Bedford, KY Married Joseph Liston 10-16-1878 Garnett, Anderson County, KS (my great grandparents) Isham L Vanarsdale b abt 1852 Annie Vanarsdale b? Any help or advice appreciated. Thank You & Happy Hunting, R Withers please respond to rjw4038@aol.com
