<DIV>This is not exactly an Oregon problem -- because we came to Oregon in 1947
-- and my problem</DIV>
<DIV>is in 1920. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My father, Harold Kenneth Umpleby was born in Harper Co., KS, 17 Sep
1908</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>His father was William Grant Umpleby, born in Ohlman, Montgomery Co., IL,
28 May 1868</DIV>
<DIV>married 29 Sep 1892 to</DIV>
<DIV>Caroline "Carrie" Barnstable, b. near Ohlman, Montgomery Co., IL, 2 Apr
1870</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I can not find this family in the 1920 U.S. Census. They should be in
Kansas, probably Harper Co.</DIV>
<DIV>I have searched two townships in Harper County, page by page.</DIV>
<DIV>I just scrolled through Ancestry.com's Soundex for 1920 -- 1,515 names
</DIV>
<DIV> all without success.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In 1910 they were in Berlin Twp., Harper Co., KS</DIV>
<DIV>In 1930 they were in Berlin Twp., Harper Co., KS</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There are some creative misspellings of the name out there, but nothing
seems to work. I do not have access to Heritage Quest to see if they have
indexed it differently.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I know there are some extremely good researchers in this group who love
nothing more than to solve</DIV>
<DIV>a good mystery. Well, here is one! </DIV>
