Ancestor in USA

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

I have an ancestor SYBLA MILLER b1876 who I believe went to America in 1822.
I believe she appears in the USA 1910 census.

As she was aged only 6 when she travelled, I am interested to know with whom she travelled.

Any information would be appreciated

Try entering her name in www.familysearch.org - which is free to search.

She shows up in the 1900 census with her parents, in the 1910 census with her father and as a lodger in the 1930 census.
