Further findings on William and Julia Keller

I found William L and Juliett Keller, living in Baltimore, in the 1860 census. Their children are William (11), Harry (9), Byron (CB using his middle name, 6) and Estelle (6 months). Lucy A. Hawk (Juliett's mother?) age 60 is living with them also, as well as Susan Chase, 19, as a domestic. Now that I have them in Baltimore, I need to see what I can find for birth records for CB and the other kids. This may prove difficult, but I will see what I can find. I also have traced Juliett, her mother and the children to the 1870 and 1880 census records. William SR seems to disappear after the 1860 census. It may be that he left, moved away, or died in that time period. I am looking through the civil war soldier lists to see if I can find him there, but it is slow going as there are a lot of William Kellers who were soldiers. I have posted on many genealogy boards and mail lists, and have already received some replies from people with Kellers in Pennsylvania, so we'll see what pans out. Hopefully something soon!
