Thanks, MonicaL!  I did notice that my Great Nannie's last name is spelled incorrectly in the record.  That's what makes all this so challenging sometimes!

Just one thing to think about the further back you go is that spellings become more fluid overall and not rigid like we have today. You will find more variations in surnames and first names the further back you trace family.

Do you need help with any further research or are you trying to see whether you can make contact with others connected?

Really just seeing what was out there right now.  I have a lot of research that my parents already did, but finding it now that they are both gone is the problem:)
