Research Notes

There is no Federal United States Census for 1890. Long story, but it does not exist. Often it helps to look for a state Census or for gentlemen a military record - people have done really neat work putting that information together for us. This lady's name is spelled three different ways, the newspaper containing her Obituary wrote "Moranda".
