[Genealib] American research

[Pat Gee]

Hi there,

Our library is situated just north of Brisbane in Queensland Australia.  We don't get much call for American research and as a result my expertise in this area is limited.

We have a client who is looking for an Alfred Henry FOXFORD, born 1880 in Queensland Australia.  Alfred left for America about 1912.  I have his entry from Canada into the USA in 1912 but can find nothing after that.  Family legend has it that he wrote to his mother from 'the Rockies' and then she never heard from him again and assumed he was dead.  Alfred's mother died in 1923.  Any clues as to where I could possibly find a death for Alfred?

I have checked through census records and have found a FOXFORD family but they appear to have originated in Scandanavia.  Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Pat Gee
