[or-roots] Census information cross referencing

[Tracy Tallman]

Thanks Leslie and glad you found them.  I do most of my research in
Washington and Heritage Quest also has many errors there.  Maybe one day..

 

FamilySearch is really great these days - and easier to access since there
is no migrating to the library page, logging on etc.  But the books on
HeritageQuest are wonderful!

 

Happy searching!

 

Tracy

Thanks Tracy, but that is how I DID find them, but I usually prefer to save
the actual image rather than the info on Family search. Fortunately the
latter includes the basics, age, place of birth relationships so finding the
original image was not real important. It just is one of those digressions I
am so fond of beating myself to death with that led me down a merry path of
confusion.

 

here is the actual family citation from Family Search;

 

family number:  508

page number:               27

            Household        Gender Age      Birthplace

self       William D Hughes          M         39y       Kentucky

 

I really tend to obsess on these digression, my primary person of interest
is Wm.s son Virgil who married one of my Dad's cousins. He doesn't show up
in the Family Search birth index for Oregon, but some of his siblings do
which gave me full names for both of his parents and a cross reference for
their ages. It is more the chase than the result that intrigues me, trying
to find precinct maps was very frustrating, I know they are out there, but
hours of searching led me down many blind alleys and to one lady who had all
here ancestors listed in Sinslaw precinct from 1880 to 1930. I emailed her
to suggest she might want to change that to Siuslaw. 

 

Thanks for the suggestion though,  a lot of folks probably still don't
realize how much stuff is on family search now.

I would try going to familysearch.org and searching there.  Not as much
detail, but you might find them and then you can go to the actual pages at
HeritageQuest.
