Can anybody find what happened to Frances between 1870 and 1880 and any sign of her Father and Mother after 1880

I found John William KEEN the son from 1910 a Music Teacher in Passaic New Jersey

Hi Val... I can't see anything.. I have tried all variants etc.. and nada-zilch-nuffin :(

[Guest]

I was hoping to maybe find some more childrens births on Familysearch thats where I found the Sons birth but cant find anything else on there?
Thanks Julie

[Darksecretz]

it does seem odd though that they just vanish! I wonder if JT died and sarah remarried?

[Guest]

could be ? I do have trouble searching the familysearch records ? maybe I'll have another go.

Yes - You must have access to all those already. Ah, well! It seemed like a good idea at the time!
