[or-roots] need more info

[Leslie Chapman]

Let me recap what I haven't found Sue and you will understand why I need
more info, first of all for some reason my puter has gotten slower so am
less excited about downloading dozens of images to help another person. I
probably need to get spybot or something to see if I can improve that, but
for now I will put up with it within reason.

I made am assumption that with Bertha born in 1871 it was logical to assume
George was born somewhere in the Range of 1866 to 1875 and searched
accordingly in the 1880 Census for George born in Nebraska; if you are right
about him "being in Nebraska" rather than born there, I really don't have a
hook to work with because George Miller is just too common, but George Born
in Nebraska gave me only two hits, three actually but one of them is female.

I tried it your way and did George Miller in Nebraska in 1920 and found 26
possibles, of which ten are old enough to be likley on the assumption he was
born in Nebraska, but the only one in Lancaster County is a George H, and
the one in Lincoln Co again doesn't match for place of birth for wife, nor
do I find any daughters named Hazel. Somewhere along the way I find a likely
Candidate in Spokane with a daughter about the right age, but I think she
was Adeline or some such. If I run out of things to do, I might go ahead and
try the rest of them, it shouldn't take me much more than an hour.

So, what I am getting at is if I can pin down where they were in 1904, it
narrows the focus of my search, as of now all I have to go on is my, perhaps
mistaken, assumptions of Nebraska birth and aforementioned age range. The
problem for me is Heritage quest only indexes on head of household, if
someone with Ancestry.com access could run this guy down and tell me where
to look I can get her a good image or extract as she prefers the info that
she would like, Assuming these folks aren't Census shy like some of the
people I have been chasing lately like those blinkin Rondeaus and
Teffetellers and such back in the 1860's and 70's.

This obituary says "born in Norway" for Bertha.

Says survived by husband of Nebraska.  That to me says he was living in
Nebraska at the time of her death.
