Leopold Gartner/Gardner was my great grandfather. He
came to the US about 1875 from Austria/Hungry. Census reports show his growing family, his children as they left home, the death of his wife, and Leopold when he lived with his married daughter.
Census reports are a good resource to begin to build a family timeline. Add births, deaths and marriages and then discover where family stories fit in.
