| Bardhart, Woodard | I am trying to trace my family history. George Barnhart is an ancestor and I am trying to find out the names of his parents. I was told that they George Barnhart and Henrietta Woodard were married on 4 January, 1846 in McHenry Illinois by another researcher. I thought that perhaps this record might include the names of their parents. |
