HI:
How do you go about researching female relatives, particularly when you have:
her first name; no maiden name; probable county and state where she was born?

Specifically I have female ancestors (in LA, NC, OH, KY) who I have found in
the Census in 1870 and afterward.

I've tried sorting by age and county in Heritage Quest but not having any
luck. I've gone through the 1860 Census in one of the counties page by page, no
luck.

I can't get marriage certificates because they were (probably) all slaves
before 1870.

How do I solve this research problem?
