Thank you to all who responded to me personally to my email.
I am new to list & this is my first post.
I have been searching for my grandparents ,whom i never knew & have met
many deadends. I was told he had the same given name of my father
BENJAMIN HARRIS b 17apr1893 in DEKALB CTY ,IN.
I understand records there were destroyed or not available before 1910
(birth records).
My grandfather ,a BENJAMIN HARRIS was married to a MARTHA???
No where in any records from areas where they lived in MI/IN/OH
have i found a BENJAMIN HARRIS with a spouse named MARTHA.
Not until at a library near chapel hill,nc where some family search tapes
from an LDS were shown to me.
According to the info viewed ,there was a BENJAMIN HARRIS b 1857 in
RANDOLPH COUNTY,IN(union city). My grandfather died at 83 years of age in
1940. Also a MARTHA REEVES b 1861 in RANDOLPH COUNTY,IN.
They married in 1878 in Randolph county.
In my fathers family he was the youngest of 5 children.
The oldest was born around 1880-82. The timeframe is very close & i am
hoping it is my grandparents that i have found.
heres hoping to hear from from all.
