I have hit a brick wall and I could really use some help. I have been searching for some answers for a while now, with very little success. Any help would be much appreciated.

I am trying to find information on my mothers side. I can find my grandmother but I have hit a brickwall when it comes to her father. I have found my grandmas family on the 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930 and 1940 census. And I can trace her mother back for generations. However, I cannot find her father before 1900. If anyone could help locate him, I would truly appreciate it. It would answer many questions that my family and I have. I will list all the names and dates that I can to help.

My mothers name was Wanda Lee Crawford. She was born in Oklahoma in 1925. Her mother's name is Hattie U Crawford (Harris). She was born in 1902 in Oklahoma. Hattie's mothers name is Jessie A Harris (Duncan) and Hattie's father's name is George S. Harris. He was born in 1862 in Illinios. I know he lived and married Jessie in Kansas and they had some of their children there, but then they moved to Oklahoma. I can't find anything on George before 1900. If anyone out there would please help me, I would be so grateful.

Thank you so much.

Do you have George's obituary or death certificate? They may give his parents' names or place of birth.

Here is the link to an Oklahoma Cemeteries website obituary index from The Cherokee Messenger. It includes your George: Harris, George 1863 6/30/23 Amorita Cem.
