<A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~uslookup/">WELCOME TO THE CENSUS LOOKUP SITE</A> http://www.rootsweb.com/~uslookup/ Kimmy-- Follow the instructions to VA and make the request as they say (for the county Roanoke is in), but explain in your request you aren't certain what Roanoke he meant. IF the volunteer is as kind as most of them are, they will look for VA/LA/ and TX IF you mention all three states in your note <G> but ONLY ask for VA. I have had volunteers that have gone way beyond the minimal lookup when they know I am dealing with a sticky problem but I have only asked for the minimum lookup. Personally, I would ask for a search on Louis/Lewis AND A search on Walter Webb. If the two names come up with hits in the same household, you have him. Give Louis's birthdate +/- a year and for Walter give Louis's +- 10 years (since you don't know if Walter is older or younger or how much so. Anne
