Hi Sue
Now that you got your first real clue . The real work begins the best data is
from the Mormon Church Family History Center they have the best data in the world
today. It is not necessary to be a Mormon to use their facility. Writing to the
Church or the Civil Authority of that or any town has never been successful for
me. Go to my website link page for genealogy research and other good stuff.
