Thank you Margy, I had never tried just going by the first names, but I had tried different spellings for the last name, just not quite that different than the origionals...Sure do appreciate your help....Lynette

Your welcome:-) glad to help. I learned to try O with A surnames from Attridge. Just about all transcribers put it as Ottridge. When I see copies of the documents it's usually a clear A to me. Makes the searching so much harder. margy ----- Original Message ----- From: <Nettiebug1059@aol.com> To: <VAROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, July 26, 2003 7:04 PM Subject: Re: [VAROOTS] 1880 Loudon Co., VA Census Lookup..... > Thank you Margy, > I had never tried just going by the first names, but I had tried different > spellings for the last name, just not quite that different than the > origionals...Sure do appreciate your help....Lynette > > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > >
