Thank you again Heather, I am VERY familiar with the CA death Index as most of my relatives are listed there.... it is the information from NEBRASKA that I am having the problem with.Unfortunately for me, my mother was the youngest of 8 or 9 children and her father Samuel Henry COOMBSwas over 60 when she was born and died when she was fourteen,he was 40-48 years old when he married Katy Elizabeth MOURER in Aurora Nebraska as I have the original marriage certificate to document that; and had only come to this country from Ireland sometime between 1890 and 1900 after he mustered out of the British Army.As I mentioned to you in another post the TOWN/VARNER line (my father) also came from NEBRASKA to California around 1904-1910 timeframe as well.I have the Varner's traced back to 1702... I am at a brick wall with Leroy TOWN.I have the Mourer from France to Nebraska to California but nothing before Katy Elizabeth's father Arthur MOURER and her mother Elizabeth FARNEY is another brick wall.NEBRASKA seems to be the KEY at the moment.
