Is there one or two “boarders” with your family in the census? Just because they are listed as a “boarder” doesn’t mean that they aren’t related.

Try and find them ten years earlier or ten years later and keep the names in case they appear in other documents. ———————————— Check out GenealogyBank’s Offer for Tip of the Day Fans!
