Are there any registered genealogists here on Du?

If the Admins want me to move this to the Genealogy forum I most certainly will do so. I was just curious whether there is a way to get 1800"s obituaries and 1870 census that are not on states GenWEB sites because I'm hitting a brick wall. I know that the census' before 1850 are useless because all they give are Head of Household and the age ranges for males and females.

A sincere Thank You to any replies that can point me in the right direction. I have been pretty lucky, but am stuck on a great-great grandmother who evidently died between 1867 and 1869 in Indiana. At least she disappeared without a trace (documentwise) and her three children were in foster homes in 1870, cannot find their father in 1870 census (found him in 1880 with a new wife and his children living with relatives).

1. You should also post this in the Genealogy Group. There are 139 subscribers so when you post their

My Subscriptions tab will alert them to a new post.

I am not a registered genealogist - just a dabbler. Do you have any online subscriptions?

2. Thanks.

I thought I was posting in the wrong forum. I used to belong to Ancestry, and maybe when I some extra disposable income I may rejoin.

3. If you PM me the info, I'll look on Ancesttry

I've got a World membership and don't mind doing some look ups. I'm an amateur, but I grew up with grandmother and mother doing serious genealogy and have lots of experience.

I will be going out of town Friday and won't be back for more than a week so it may take until I get back for me to do it.

I too have an Ancestry membership and would be happy to check for you if you pm me.
I can likely check tomorrow.

On edit: that would be later today omg I didn't realize the time!
