Hi Missie, Thanks for the kind words, I have enjoyed posting the information and I have also enjoyed all the other people that have added to the post. It has been Great! I have about 25 more to post, but as far as I know no more from Ohio. I had posted one from Ohio today when Cindy asked if I would look for Emma Congrove, it turns out they had her fathers name transcribed as Kimca, I think it was. If someone comes up with something they want me to look for and I do find it, I will post it. I guess the transcribers are a lot like the census takers, if they can't figure it out they put down what they think it might be;~) When I read about the podcast you saw my heart broke! I have binders for all the families I am working on and I have printed a letter for each binder saying that it is to be given to the Genealogical Society of the area the family is from. I have put the name of the society , their address, phone number and e-mail address on the letter. I have told my husband and our daughter that this is my wish and they both agree to honor it. I also have the names of some family members that they are to contact first to see if they want the information. I just can't bare the thought that all the work that is put into the research, mine or anyone else's, could be trashed. That is just sad that the family would BURN all that great information, they are lucky if the researcher doesn't come back and haunt their butt's.

In reference to the Ohio Death Certificates Lori has been posting, several of these listed parents born in West Virginia. If you happen to be researching any of these lines, West Virginia has a site to search for births, marriages, and deaths.
