We would really appreciated it if you shared with us what you had, there a literally thousands of us here looking for our roots, looking for connections. For our 350th Anniversary we need to updated our list of folks out there that are descendants somewhere along the line of any of those variations. We also have a family newsletter that cost only $5.00 per year, a real bargain. Just send it your mailing address. Every day I get e-mail asking me for help.

This is for Marge. Yes, I got your answers. Thanks a million! This is exactly what I need, detail wise. I will likely ask a few more questions in the future.

Diana, Obviously someone does not want us to communicate outside this list I have been trying to reply to your message all day. Here's your answers: That area is about 50-50 orchards and residential. However our township has a limit on lot sizes (10 A.) in most areas. Sec 17 I believe encompasses part of the 10 A. limit and a portion of 5A. areas. There are quite a few old farm houses & barns left. Bainbridge has a population of 2900. It is bounded on the east by Biastock, South by Territorial Rd., north by North Branch Road, west by Park Rd. Actually Territorial runs in a NW direction towards Millburg and North Branch runs NE out of Millburg Kaiser rd is the only other public road in Sec 17, running E-W between Biastock 7 Park. There is Blue Creek (?) which runs at an angle through it. It is barely a stream. The area is pretty rolling countryside. I see your GGG's land off Park south of Kaiser rd. Yes the Brick School still stands, it is owned by Jollay Orchards now and is open to the public as a haunted house in the fall months. I believe they are going to be open May-Oct this year. I'm sure you could have a tour. It's a very picturesque building. I've seen it in photo competitions several times. They just recently restored the bell tower. I hope this helps you. Try to contact me at my address yetzkejm@qtm.net I don't understand why we're having problems communicating.
