Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Where Were Your Ancestors in 1900?



Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible! music) is to:
1)  Where were your ancestors in the year 1900?  Make a list with their ages and location (with the street  address if you know it).
2)  Share your information in your own blog post, in a comment on this post, or on Facebook or Google+.  Please leave a link to your post in a comment to this post.

  1. Wow! You have three 3X who saw the 20th century. I have several who lived into the 1890s, but didn't make it to 1900.

    1. My paternal ancestors didn't live long--to much drinking, I bet.

  2. I really wanted to include the census images, but I didn't have time today. Maybe I'll go back and add them later . . . . :)
