Well I do this from time to time. All researchers have those "oops I missed it" moments! I was sharing my research with a cousin last night. Well this morning she wrote back to let me know that George Scott was infact on the 1885 Nebraska State Census. He was on the previous page, but since I couldn't see the document and was relying on an index, I had no way of seeing that. She knew from her grandfather that Aner died before George did.
While I have more information today on George and Aner than I did a week ago, I'm still no closer to finding his date or place of death. So it's back to work.
My interest in genealogy started when I was a child. My dad's mom use to tell me that the family history book had been burned in a fire, but she knew we were related to Daniel Boone. I never forgot that. I'd like to announce my new focus with my blog. I am now a charter member of GraveYard Rabbits. Which is a perfect fit considering the direction my blog has already taken. I will now be focusing on the preservation, history and customs around graveyards. This should be fun!
