I have been trying to research the Shelato surname and am hitting the blank wall. According to the 1880 census of Indiana it lists William F. Shelato being born in Indiana, and his father being born in Virginia. Is there anyway to check the census records prior to 1880 in Virginia to see if there were any Shelato's listed. I'm trying to find out where this family originated from. Thanks you. Linda (Shelato) Pudlo

In 1870 Julia Shelato is living with William age 75and Elizabeth Adkins age 71. Elizabeth was born in Virginia. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2005 4:05 PM Subject: [VAROOTS] Shelato Surname >I have been trying to research the Shelato surname and am hitting the blank > wall.
