Where in the World is Helen Schmitt?

Author: Brenda Leyndyke / Labels: ,

Once I have identified an ancestor, I start my research by finding the ancestor I am researching in the census records.  Usually, I start with the most recent census date and work backwards.  I am creating tables for each ancestor with the census information.  This helps me to see where I am missing information and what next steps I need to take in my research.  Below is the table for Kirk's great grandmother, Helen Schmitt, who married Timothy Corcoran.  I have been unable to find Helen Schmitt in the 1900 U.S. Federal Census.  She was not recorded in the home of her father and she wasn't married yet to be included with Timothy Corcoran.  I have added that to my to do list and hope to locate her one of these days.
