First of all, I say again .... please give your first name (Lola did) and your location (Lola did not). I don't mean your full address just something like Trevia, Houston, Texas. Then I'd know that I could probably offer some one-on-one telephone help. Or I could direct "Trevia" to a good library (ours is Clayton Library Center for Genealogical Research, of course) or a good society with members eager to help. Second I ask if you've done a time line with all the information you have? Great for finding out what you missed or just to trigger an idea on where to look. DATE NAME EVENT and add everything - like marriages, births, deaths, but also other events such as military service, graduation for college, etc. Third, it is - or should be - up to the writer to give us information instead of asking others to look it up. Memphis, Texas ... now just what county is that in? Texas has 254 counties and one can't know every town in every county. Yes, I can look it up if I don't know ---- the county seat of Hall County. "nwlin texas" needs a couple of more letters in order to even look up the county. Always read your e-mail over a second time before hitting that send button ..... then you may see that you need to correct something or give additional information. Remember that what you are reading is what you are asking others to read in order to help you. So here's the timeline as we can glean from the request you sent ... and a few remarks.... 1878 - Tom Price b. MO 1878 - Rosa Lee Hughes b. MO 1880 - census??? 1889 - Tom & Rosa md. in "nwlin???" TX ---- and children in between ---- 1899 - mother (NAME???) b. in Memphis, Hall Co TX 1900 - census.... checking Hall Co TX (below) no results .... ----- who did your mother marry; and where? this may give a clue on where else to look.... ----- do you have any idea where your grandparents Tom & Rosa Lee are buried? 1880 census .... although the birth year does not match. Rosa Lee Hughes w/ David & Anna [Miller] Waverly, Lafayette, MO b. abt 1865 Missouri Relationship: Granddaughter ** a look at the original census seems to say that J.D. Miller and wife Mildred are head of the household with their son, David and his wife Anna living with them. But note this granddaughter's names is Hughes. No Tom Price comes up but then Tom may not actually be his first name ... You do not give your mother's name who was b. in Hall Co TX in 1899 so could only look up by her father's name of Tom Price ... nothing shows. her mother's name of Rosa - no matches. Three Price listings come up on the 1900 census for Hall Co TX - no matches. of course they could have moved to some other county by 1900... Your mother's birth certificate should hold some clues ... I presume that is where you come up with the birth years of 1878 and state of MO for her parents. Look on it and see if it says the # of children born to this mother (Rosa)? Does it give an occupation for Tom - this may tell you if he was moving due to work. What else do you see on that birth certificate? take a good look it again. Let us know if you can add anything else to what you've given and perhaps some of us can help you --- Trevia Wooster Beverly Houston, Harris County, Texas ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 9:50 AM Subject: [ROOTS-L] tom price > > i havent had any luck finding tom price and rosa lee hughes they wre both b.in missouri 1878 they were married in nwlin texas 1889 had a chid in memphis texas 1899 my mother all i have found is her birth c. nothen on my grand mother and gdad could any one out thire help me out l have tryed every place i could think of pleas help ifany one can lola > > lucianl1@earthlink.net > EarthLink Revolves Around You.
