Tina thank you. I wish I had access to it all; I would love to scan the
whole ordeal to Rootsweb so people could at least find where their ancestors
died, maybe. I can't get to the main library now and have had an injury but
they do have the Federal census for 1900 and 1910 and a lady said that they
are now coming out with the 1920 one. frances
