Hi, I don't mean to horn in on your Truax conversation but I've been researching Belmont and Monroe County, Ohio in the 1800 to 1850 era for my Powell family. There is lots of information about the Truax family available on the web and through a variety of books. I have Belmont County before 1830 and the first 3 three books written by Catherine Fedorchak on Reseach Your Family in Monroe County. The Truax family is in those books. If you are interested let me know. I'd be happy to do a look up for you. Charlotte Lewin macslewin@aol.com
