Good Morning Lynette, Your initial post was to vague, you did not indicate what you specifically were looking for. I asked you if you had the family on the 1880 census. Your reply was I have him on a census with a young child. I would guess that is the 1880 census. A simple yes would have sufficed but that source should have been the basis for your initial request. I have also indicated I found the family in 1900 and 1910 but you have not indicated you already have those nor if you wanted them. You've got to find your ancestors on the census records before you go looking for other data such as death records. I am not researching this family Lynette but volunteers like myself are the ones who will be able to assist you the most. But they have to know what you are specifically looking for to avoid duplication of effort. You will receive more positive results by requesting specific records many times than posting once with very vague information and receiving nothing. Your volunteers want to help you Lynette, but they have to know what you need. Dick
