Wow- that is cool - well if you want specific information my dad is John Raymond Curtis jr. born in akron, OH on 10/6/50 - all I know about his father is that he had the same name. but I don't know who my greatgrandparents are. I don't know of the services you are talking about but I will try to go to the library as well. Crista A. Curtis KB HOME COASTAL INC.

Do you have access to any subscription service where you can attempt to trace him backward through the census? Some libraries give their cardholders access to Heritage Quest, sometime through their home computer (like I have) and at the library itself or both. Ancestry.com is also a good investment. I have been using both. Each have their advantages and disadvantages, but if you have free access to HQ and an Ancestry subscription, they work well together. Let me see if I can find him in 1930. Be back in a little bit. Becky in Ohio ==== CURTIS Mailing List ==== Forgotten how to unsubscribe? Send message unsubscribe to <CURTIS-L-request@rootsweb.com>(or D for digest mode)
