Sometimes parts of records are missing. It is always a challenge to find names that have been removed from a record, but consider searching:

  • by other search terms.
  • for others who “should be on the same page.”
  • page by page if possible.

  1. Where can I find an aunt who simply disappeared after going to USA in 1867, but according to the DEATH certificates of children born in Pennsylvania she was their mother. How would I find out if she was cremated? I have searched every possible person that I can relate to her, but nothing shows up. Neither My Heritage nor Ancestry recognise that she was ever in USA, but a record of her joining a church in 1867 and leaving that church in 1869 are the only records of her existence that I can find. Can you advise me where I can try next. ? I would appreciate any advice I can get. Regards, Dianne

  2. I cannot get past my 3rd great-grandfather (Kelly). He died in 1895. I do not know his middle name only his middle initial. Daniel F. Kelly. Some people in Ancestry said his father was Jim Kelly from Harnett County, NC but I proved that was wrong. Census reports differed on whether he was born in North Carolina or South Carolina. But I found an article in Chronicling America that proves he was born in North Carolina. I can’t remember the County name right now. The articlet said he had a sister named Mrs. Bartlett but it didn’t say her first name or her husband’s name. And it said he has a sister in Iredell County but it did not say her name and it said his parents and siblings had moved to Indiana but did not name them or the city they moved to. I was a paralegal for 22 years so I have an extensive research background that has been very beneficial but I am sure stumped on this one.
