If you know their names and the names of their parents, you can look on the census records starting with 1930 and going back. After 1840, the census records show all of the family members living in the household including grandparents, boarders, cousins, aunts, uncles. For most, you can also view the neighbors living around them which for many of them will turn out to be brothers, sisters, cousins, parents, etc. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
