If you have lost a female relative, have you considered whether or not they are really lost at all? They may simply be “hiding” under a new last name due to a marriage. If the time frame is after the 1850 US census, or any census that names all household members, look at the wives in nearby households. Is there one that has a female with the name of the “missing” person who has the age to be the missing person. It may be that what you are missing is simply the marriage record. ———————————— Check out GenealogyBank’s Offer for Tip of the Day Fans!
