ArchivesRe: A suggestion...
in reply to a message by Nanaea
Okay, yes I live in Kansas, but I am not from here. (Only here for school.) Actually, I have no idea where my grandmother was born. My mother was born in Ohio, and besides my other siblings and close relatives, I don't know where any of them were born. (And believe me, I've asked.) My family is a military one, so finding a lot of information about my family is kinda hard, being that we all live in different states and countries. Where would I go to find census records, by the way? Any recommendations?

Your public library would be the best place to start. But census records will be of no use to you if you can't pinpoint where your ancestor was living in any particular census year.
You at least know where your mother was born, so that's a start. The U.S. Federal Census is taken every ten years, in years ending in the number "0". pick the year closest to your mother's youngest age (provided you're certain she was still living in Ohio in that year), and you'll have your starting point.

Ah, thank you
Okay then. I'll try that. Thanks. I'll probably post again if I cannot find anything though...
