Monday, May 26 2008 is Memorial day. Do you want to meet in OH just after that on the Tuesday?? Or do the week before? And where to meet?

I wrote to the Clinton County Genealogical Society, trying to get a copy of the permission Lafayette brought but the current genealogist is new and somewhat unfamiliar with the holdings at the society and at the court house. She did send me a copy of the notes Randy left with them and a record of Poor House Deaths, 1836-1850. On that list was the name of Henry Ludington, who died March 10, 1847 at the age of 19. There was no other information about him. He doesn't seem to fit in any Ludington family that I know lived in the area but he could fit with Lafayette's family per the 1840 census. There is one male between 10 & 15 whom I cannot name. Henry would fit because he would have been 12 in 1840. Does anybody else recognize this Henry? I am obsessed and just have to go and look for myself....and, to have other Luds along would put the icing on the cake. Who has a 2008 calendar?

I have interests that are different from the other Luds...although, we share an interest in Abner. I need to explore Lafayette and my Rebecca. And, maybe, I could learn if the Henry Ludington who died there in 1847 was a son of Lafayette. I thought that portion of my trip could be somewhere around Memorial Day. Of course, it would have to be when the buildings are open and not closed for the holiday. Then, I need to go on to Toledo to work in the Lucas County library researching my Rood family. It will be a busy couple of weeks for me. It would be great to get together with everybody. Maybe, if we laid all the paperwork out together, we could solve the puzzles. Besides, Clinton County seems to be a location many of us have in our ancestry and Ohio is somewhat central. Elaine

Is the weather usually good in Ohio around Memorial Day? My guess is that it would not be terribly hot and humid yet and most of the snow should be over. I haven't been in a few years...does anyone have an opinion? Of course, we have to visit the genealogical society and the court house.....any place else? Elaine
Hi, Dottie, Sorry for the trouble you have been having. I can remember a few bad storms that happened while we lived in Indiana. We are very happy to be in Florida and out of them. I have looked at my calendar and plan to make a trip to Ohio in the early summer of 2008. I think that is the only way I am going to be able to be satisfied that I have done all I can possibly do to sort out my Ohio Lud puzzle. I would like to go earlier but 2007 is already booked. Retirement is a busy time of life...LOL It would be great to have a reunion then.....anybody interested? Elaine
HAVE HEAT; NO WATER; FROZEN PIPES; MOVE OVER RON, I'M COMIN' FOR A VISIT. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR KINDNESS; IT HELPS, BELIEVE ME. I AM TOO OLD FOR THIS, BUT HAVE TO HANG ON AND SORT OUT OHIO LUDS. :) DOTTIE
By end of May OH weather shud be excellent. The trees will all have new leaves and the grass will need cutting. Just what part of OH do u see us going to?? I have been to Warren Co and looked at the records as have several others. Clinton Co has been visited by some of us I believe??
