Message Board Post:
I am trying to figure out my great-grandfathers siblings and parents names. His name is
Ernest Harris (born 1882 in Illinois) and I know one of his siblings names was Edward -
Edward (born abt 1888 in Illinois) lived with Ernest in 1910 in Vigo County, Indiana
according to the census. Another census show's Ernests' moms name as Lucy Garber
- yet on another census it has Ruth Garber and James Garber as step-father. Not sure what
happened there, but am positive it is the same Ernest on both of those census'. I
have noticed Donald, Harold, Florence, Roy, Ernest and Edward being common among many
Harris families so I can't quite match my family up. (I often find that when 3 or
more names match it is a black family and mine is white.) My grandfather was married to
Ora Cloe (Richey) Harris and they had 8 children: Roy Edward (born in 1910 in Vigo County
- died in infancy), Earl(b1912), Frances (b1913 My Grandmother), Raymond (b1916),
Katherine (b1918), Harold (b1921), Florenc!
e "Terri" (b1923-still living) and Donald (b:unknown, but still living)
