John Blair > Ireland>IL.>OK.>KS
I am trying to find my great-grandfather's parents.His name was John N. Blair.He was born in Ireland in 1851.In the 1900 census it is recorded that he had been in the United States for 35 years.This means that he came here in around 1865.I have checked passenger lists and found nothing.Of course I could have missed it.I'm new at this game.He married Margaret O'Loughlin in Vermilion County, Illinois in 1878.My grandfather was born in 1881 in Champagin County, Illinois.I sent for his birth record and they didn't have a record.John left Illinois and went to Oklahoma.He went to Hutchinson, Reno, Kansas next.He is buried there.His obit., funeral, and death certificate give no parents.He worked for Morton Salt Company until he died.I checked with them about records.They don't have records going back that far. John's children were: Mary, Martha, Andrew, Lena, Eva, Roy, and Nettie.I need help.
