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.
I used the 1900 census to determine where my ancestors were
living. I have a total of twenty-four (24)
ancestors who were alive in 1900. Two of them were very young. I had a couple
who had died just before 1900 as well.

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.
ReplyDeleteMy paternal ancestors didn't live long--to much drinking, I bet.
DeleteI really wanted to include the census images, but I didn't have time today. Maybe I'll go back and add them later . . . . :)
ReplyDeleteI did, too, but didn't have time. You're right, I should, too. But I'm getting ready for RootsTech.
DeleteWe don't have any overlapping locations. Bummer!
