I don't know him, and all I know is that he was a ward of the state until age of 18. I think he has a son out there somewhere named Michael. That's about all that I know. I don't think I have enough information to search with.Melissa Henninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00106750327155319188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900428249402459681.post-62411980995981134542009-08-20T07:52:36.488-07:002009-08-20T07:52:36.488-07:00WOW...congratulations!WOW...congratulations!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03082891172963869545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900428249402459681.post-55535937049471055852009-08-20T06:02:12.651-07:002009-08-20T06:02:12.651-07:00Ah another convert.

The censuses 1840 and before counted the male heads of households, but broke the households down by age groups, so we can tell how many 0-5 year old girls and boys, 5-10 year girls and boys etc were living in the household. The problem is that those children could be children, grandchildren, apprentices... So we can't assume if a man had 8 children living with him that they were all his. I found one family where there was a much older couple living with my younger ancestors. Probably one of thier parents. But how many of the children belonged to the older parents?<br /><br />You did some awesome genealogy work there in just a few short weeks though! I am very impressed. Maybe I should give you the information on Susan Markham. LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
