I thought the original question was about Mechanicsville in Montgomery County Maryland. There is a Montgomery County in just about every state in the Union.

I found out that my grandfather's family was in the 1920 Census in DC in Enumeration District 240. On Ancestry.com, the districts skip from 239 to 242, omitting 240 and 241. Does anyone know why these two districts are not listed? When I joined Ancestry.com, I was told that if my ancestors were in the census at all, that I would be able to find them on Ancestry.com. Well it's hard enough without an index, but when you know the ED # for certain and then find out it's not even listed, I feel like I've been taken. Is there any way to access those records? Sue Dotson Buzzybee@prodigy.net

For anyone who did not receive my previous message, I can look up death certificates in Ohio for Dec 1908-1944. There are also some earlier records for certain counties. The Ohio Historical Society has a great website at www.ohiohistory.org. There is an index of deaths from 1913-1937. I can get copies for $1 each if you know the dates of death.

Olney, MD used to be called Mechanicsville. It's in Montgomery Co., MD. and is about a 45-60 minute drive from downtown Washington, DC. According to a book I have, the 1879 G.M. Hopkins map lists both names for the same place.

Mechanicsville exists. It has its own website, plus many other hits when I used a GOOGLE search. http://www.2chambers.com/mechanicsville.htm If you can't see it on a map, you are doubtless using a map with very little detail. Try one of a different scale and more closeups. It's tightly-built around there so theymay leave out some of the smaller communities. Do a Yahoo map quest search and you can pinpoint it. JHall

oops... it was my grandmother who was born in Georgetown.. I still do not know who her mother was even after many many years of searching... Joe jsla@loc.gov

In searching the 1880 Census for Murphy families that were in DC or had children born in DC the kids in such families having names that might match my grandmother's mother and siblings.. I ran across a family listed as being in 'Mechanicsville, Montgomery, Maryland'. From the fact the last child was born in DC and was age 2 years, the family must have moved there from DC sometime between 1878 and when the household was polled in the 1880 Census. I can find no such town or place on my current day Atlas of Montgomery Co., MD.... My G Grandmother allegedly was born in Georgetown in March 1876 and this is one 'candidate family'.... Would anyone have any idea where Mechanicsville, Montgomery (Co.), Maryland was located then in 1880 ?? and assuming it was renamed, what its name is today ?? IF located far from DC, I'd also wonder if it might have been located along the old railroads.. as my grandfather worked for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in their Baltimore Medical offices.. and he managed somehow to meet my grandmother who was born in Georgetown... Any help appreciated... 8-) Joe jsla@loc.gov

Sue and list, My Lightbowns and Clarks were in Brentwood (PG Co. just over the DC line) in 1910 too. I found them in ED 79 in the 1910 census, so give that a try.... Good luck, -Bryan-

BLESS YOU!!!!!!!! There they were!!!! I have been struggling through other districts the entire day and was getting so discouraged, but I'm beside myself now :-)))) Yes, they probably did know each other -- or at least I'd like to think so ;-) My Dad was born in that house. We'll be seeing him this weekend -- I'll ask him if your grandmother's name sounds familiar to him! Thank you so much for your help -- you've made my day! Now, if you can only do that for me for 1910 ;- ) They had the nerve to be someplace different then -- on Hobson St. in Brentwood, P.G. Co. MD. I don't suppose your grandparents were around the corner then, too? Ha. I can dream ;-) Anyone else know the ED for that one? Sue Dotson Buzzybee@prodigy.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.
