I am at a road block with my MINER surname. Not being familiar with "dit" names and such, I have not been able to track down my Louis N. Miner (1850-1931) who married Mary Jane DeNio (1852-1924). There was a concentration of Miner and DeNio's in Jones County, Iowa (where mine eventually settled) that must have migrated together from Franklin and Clinton Counties during the 1860-1870 period?
