Re: Whisnant and Holland

I discovered that census records are often incorrect for any number of reasons:number 1 is that the census taker did not actually go to the home of that family.The census taker often asked neighbors so he did not have to go miles down a road or through the woods.So I use census records over a period of time to get an idea.Number 2 reason is the ladies sometimes shaved a year or two off their real ages.(The tombstone of my gg-aunt's has her born in 1854.In 1850 she was four years old.Every decade as an adult got a year removed off that DOB of 1846.Go figure.) Thanks for the updated information of Lussiss and the story.I love the stories that make relatives real.Since this is not part of my direct line, I have not done anything more than what I already shared.It does sound interesting that folks from Liechtenstein were living in Vienna, LA. Makes one wonder why and how?I am looking for Japser's sister Louisa who married Barney Cox.She is lost.I descend from sister Julia who married Edmund Cox.I will keep you in mind if I find anything.Good luck, Ruth
