I actually lived in Canton. A few blocks from the main library. The ladies in the genealogy dept there are awesome!!!! I could NEVER have gotten this far without them. They were invaluable and taught me a lot. I now live in Seville Oh and there is a Friendsville Road here too. I'd love to find out WHy its named that.

We found that there are alot of people in the Stark and Summit Co. area with WV and MD roots. We did eventually go visit in the mountains of WV VA and MD and got a lot of information there. We even found a book about the Schoenbrun and Gnadenhutten Ohio Indian settlements located in Warm Springs VA. Who would of thought that we would find a book from home there. :-) "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: Nickole: Sometimes you can do genealogy of our mountain people almost as well in Akron as in the mountains - as I did in Mogadore. I was surprised how many Prestonians lived within a couple of blocks.
