since my last message, i have learned more about my ancestors. however, still having trouble with ancestors of william cosand born 1826. According to 1850 census he was born in iowa, but, in 1870 census he lists indianna as bith place. his wife is same person eliza j. white cosand, so im quite sure this is same william. his son william g. cosand is my grandfather any help would be appreciated. thank you Lisa Hughey
