Discovering the names of children born in the early part of the nineteenth century in places where vital records are lacking is a challenge. These children are represented by tick marks on pre-1850 censuses. Creating profiles using clues in the censuses and then testing them against reasonably exhaustive research can reveal their identities. This lecture will demonstrate the tools and methodology used to analyze and correlate the information, illustrated by case studies.
