It is very helpful to find someone in several consecutive census reports. The decades roll by. Children can be identified. We see those children increase in number and then decrease as they move out on their own. In 1920 William, age 86, has moved in with his son.

Don't you just love the 1900 Census, with the question of "month and year of birth" so we can narrow things down for ancestors whose birth dates are still mysteries?
ReplyDeleteThey lived a long fruitful life. I take it that Rebecca and Jane are one person; the Mother Rebecca Jane Fortenberry.
