I knew the 1890 census was lost but wasn’t aware of the special 1892 census. Where can I find that info? It doesn’t seem to be listed in ancestry.com.
Also, I found another piece of evidence to help prove the link. The marriage record of James Christian to Mary Yost in 1889 lists George and Nancy as James’ parents. Not conclusive, but another piece of the puzzle, and so far I have found nothing to disprove.
