alt: I read the article Seventies .. wish 'Terry' the best.
Seventies: It was on FB while you were out of town Daviss. Thanks alt. Me too.
Daviss: I see Seventies...I left puter at home
Seventies: Just sitting here, that's something that I could write about in a book. I'm just not well researched on the Callins tho' and really I have no excuse not to be.
Selma: I saw it Daviss
alt: may not be your problem Daviss, but I find searching the census, 1940 & others, is best when I difficulty with the names is to search the area for blacks in certain age groups & gender ... this is using ancestry and the search filters they have
Seventies: All my family is here and its the family that I originally started off with the family genealogy. See I thought Daviss had done that already.
Daviss: I use that also alt and still came up empty. I gave her 2-4 yrs age difference
alt: that;s how I foind Anita in the 1940 census .. her family is listed as Howey rather tahn Harvey in the index.
Selma: Folks..gotta run Have a great day
Seventies: bye Selma
alt: perhaps she was in a different area than you believe she was in for the 1940 census Daviss
Daviss: I used all name spellings first and last that I could think of I searched all and then narrowed it down to Harrison County and then Harris County I am dumb founded
alt: how about wild cards for all females named Zep***** or any combinations.
Daviss: yeppers done that too and also used her middle name
alt: okay, just keep on plugging.
Daviss: I know Well she is the ggranddaughter of you know who oh alt did you get your ancestry results back yet?

Seventies: Yes NJ got hit hard, as was to be expected...
Daviss: Bless his heart alt. I wish him well
alt: right Seventies, expected and 'in it' are two different things.
Daviss: I think daughters brother may be stuck in Ok la for a long while
