Of course, this returned 4700 matches. I then chose the Narrow by "Place" and chose Illinois - 152 results. Then I chose collection (since you said he was in the 1870 census for sure I chose that one - 59 results. Easily scanned for a German birth place (assuming they got that correct). Then I chose narrow by date, choosing 1850-59 AND 1860-69, this returned - 35 results for John's born in that timeframe. 35 isn't too hateful to troll through, however I see no German births. Since you said his name was messed up, I'd be interested to see if any of the ones returned were actually the correct John - this was a great exercise to see if the results would show the record that you already know should be there. So, what last name was listed???Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235026202257819623noreply@blogger.com
