NO I should have kept a research log of all the places I have searched.<br />
However my main Searches in Maryland were of people prior to 1890<br />
Thanks for the reply.

My goal is to break down a brick wall...follow each line back as far as possible. I dont have a lot of time at the moment to totally commit but what I have found in the past just blows me away I definately have the bug.

Hi Jennifer-<br />
<br />
I have many lines going, I'm helping my 4th cousin once removed work on her DAR application, and starting to put together a 'scrapbook' of my LaCour/Kimball lines for my grandmother, who will be 84 this October, and always searching for the parents of my FIL's great grandfather, William A. Lavelle. ;)

That's why we talk about levels of record keeping. In 1890 NJ, for instance, birth certificates were forwarded to the State, where they were collected and where registers were made as summaries of all of them. So the <b>State Archives</b> is where you start.<br />
<br />
Also, many folks filed for "<i>delayed birth registration</i>", using eyewitnesses and family documents, and local documents (such as school records) to verify a previous birth. These registrations became especially important when Social…

Also, many folks filed for "<i>delayed birth registration</i>", using eyewitnesses and family documents, and local documents (such as school records) to verify a previous birth. These registrations became especially important when Social Security started in the 30s, and when WW2 hit America.<br />

Then of course there are newspaper announcements for the mother's death and baby's birth, coroner's inquests, and so forth. Do you have a research log of where you have searched so far?

John Lunsford born 1830 died after 1900 census in Carter Co. Ky. Was married two times<br />
Nancy stephens in 1854 in Carter Co. KY. Had one son James Lunsford. I've been putting this family together over the past couple of years.<br />
Then John Lunsford married Amelia Ann Sexton after 1860 in Carter Co. Ky. *This is my line* All I have on them is census records only from 1870-1900 all in Carter Co. Ky.<br />
Mary M. Lunsford-John Osborne<br />
Margaret Lunsford- Aaron Loar *my line* Aaron parents were Moses Loar and Luvania don't know her last name.<br />
Emma Lunsford-George Herron<br />
Henry Lunsford<br />
Robert Lunsford.<br />

I have some information on them too but not much. If I could get this straighten out me would be a happy camper..<br />

My husband and I both grew up with few mentions about some of our backgrounds. Also, my maternal grandfather was orphaned at age 4, so much of his history is missing, or is hearsay. Also, both my husband and I love history.<br />
<br />
So our main goals are to gather that missing information and to place all of it into historical perspective.<br />

Sounds like my Son in law's family.<br />
they seem to be troubled about some thing but they did share enough names and places so the Census gave me lots of information and someone was kind enough to supply the Immigration data from their CD of swedish immigrants using the approximate names, and the ages and dates from the census on their immigration.<br />
Some ot the family moved to CA so the marriage, birth and death records were informative.<br />

My grandson Ian Charles Eckland/Eklund will know whom some of his ancestors were as the marriages in Neb and other records gave me clues and I have been in contactg with some of Maternal sides of the family whom were not always Swedish.<br />
