Denise,

It might be best if you put up some kind of basic form for folks to follow. It is sometimes hard to read these long paragraphs where everything runs together. The basics can be at the beginning and the paragraphs can follow.

1. State - County
2. Full Name
3. Age, Birth date if known or (approximate is OK)
4. Census - by year

1930, 1920, etc and I don't mean did you look at it...who was in the household
5. Whether have birth certificate?
6. Whtether have death certificate?
If we know the location of where folks at a specific time we can better tell folks whether or not those type of vital statistics are available for that state at that time period.

What other records have they looked at. Wills, Deeds, Newspapers, etc.
