Surnames: Smith Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/FCC.2ACE/1914 Message Board Post: According to census records Joseph Smith was born in VA but I can't find him in the 1850 census. He is married by the 1860 census. His parents and his wife were born in PA. He and his wife (Catherine or Teresa) were 70 in 1910 and I can't find either in the 1920 census. I assume they died between 1910 and 1920 but I don't have a date yet. Any pointers in the right direction will be appreciated.
