Any additional information you have may be helpful. If you know the dates of birth and locations for this family, you can go to some public library branches where they have census records and hunt for the family in the census books and microfilms. Ask the librarian for help. They are usually very helpful. Did anyone in your family get a copy of the family Bible? Births and deaths are recorded there. Was this family a member of a church or denomination? Most families in the 1800's had membership somewhere. Did they migrate from elsewhere to the current location? If so, when? Names really aren't enough info for anyone to start a research. You really need to help us by providing more information. Dianne
