Since this census says her father was 27. Her father should be listed in
the 1850 Indiana census. I don't have access to that here at home. The
name is unusual enough that it shouldn't be hard to find if it's in the
index.
If Lucy's father and mother were married in Allen County, they should be
lsited in the marriage index at the library. I may get to the library on
Tuesday so I'll check for you.
Hope this helps.

How does one go about looking for a relative? Do you have any suggestions
for Bette or myself?
