Hello to all: As you can guess my last name is Adrian. And first name: Brian During a search on Rootsweb, I found a post by "jodir" Jodi Reifsnyder Adrian, and then saw she was active in GenForum. That's how I found out about this list. So Thank you, Jodi. I haven't been doing this long, but I can already see you hit a lot of brick walls. I'm searching for information on my Grand Father Rowland Whitcomb Adrian. I have searched Ancestry.com and found one record for him. WW1 Civilian Draft Registrations DOB April 12, 1895 Birth Place Gloster, OH; Marion County. This was good news, but after searching and looking over maps the Town of Gloster has no listing. At first I thought it was a mistake maybe the town name was Glouster, but the counties are different. So now the brick wall starts. Rowland Adrian married Edith Parsons or (Samualson) in Rockford, Ill They had three children, Big Ace ( the only name I know), Mickey, and Virgil. Rowland Adrian died in the 1950's in Rockford, Ill. They lived on Harlem Road. Any suggestions on how to find out more would be greatly appreciated. Is there anyway of getting a copy of the WW1 Civilian Draft Registration form? Thanks for any help. Brian Adrian
