Pat, Thank you, i would love a copy of the Garrettson newsletter.I was lucky to get a packet of them from a member of that line but am missing some pages and you may have the one i want.Will send my address and postage. Yes, you are right-i would never think of marking the "old"records and will see if the clerk's can fix the "new" ones. I was just on the Cemeteries page which is wonderful-and saw a Lemual DILLER listed in Fredonia cem. and Elizabeth GILLIAN(sp?)died 1850,inscription was J.C. in the Cranston cem.There are 2 different lists for Cranston. My BEARD line is Jane(Shellabarger) buried same cemetery,Linn Grove,as Joseph.I am trying to make connection to them.She is born NJ and they came thru Clark co.,Ohio,also the Newell family at this time.Interesting part of this is Jacob,Jane's husband,owned the land and gave for a cemetery when Jos.Beard died shortly after arriving.I have the clipping with this story a cousin had saved all these years. carol >>>>old Garretson newsletter from the 1950's that was sent to me by a descendant of Sarah Eveline Whistler McNamer. Be glad to share it with you if you haven't seen it. Also, which Beard is in your line? I have Nancy Beard, daughter of Joseph and Adrianna, who married Philip McNamer in 1848.<< Finally, in regard to changing records; I think Carol was referring to changing modern indexes
