Re: Pack from Tennesee (Cocke County, Greene County, Knox County?)
Hi Floyd,
Thank you for posting your offer to help.
This is the thread about Albert Pack and his wife, Lena Owens. I try to help people here. I'm not related.
You could help us of you know roughly when Albert and Lena were born. If I knew that I could look them up on the census and find out all kinds of interesting things about them, like how many children they had. The census lists occupation, but it is usually "Farmer". I keep hoping for "Chief Elephant Washer at the Circus" or "Stock car racer and moonshine hauler".
Sometimes you find an aged relative living with them, which gives you their parents, or at least one of them.
Thanks again. Look forward to hearing from you!
If they were not yet born in 1930, I can't help. The censuses from 1940 onwards are still sealed. Only 1850 - 1930 are much good. Before 1850 they don't list enough information to be of any use.
