Thanks ladies. :-) It's so frustrating that the women carrying/delivering/raising huge families are often not listed in baptism records. I feel apologetic to them & their own birth families since I can't honour them by identifying their existence.

My dad had ledgers from our store. He died being owed plenty. I hope all those people never forget his kindness. Unfortunately, I threw them out about 35 years ago. If I had only known what was to come with the advent of the internet.

Where do you find these store ledgers? County history centers?
