It seems that you are trying to do too much at once. I encourage you to
narrow your scope. Let's start with what you know for sure. You mentioned
above "my John" in reference to the Brady family. So I assume that you are
trying to identify or verify the parents of John Brady and locate him in
various census records. Is that correct?
