Hello, I have been off the list for awhile and would like to resubmit the surnames I am interested in for Kent Co. They are BLAKE (Phinneas Francis father of Phinneas Vincent, father of Helen), WOOD (James father of Stephen, father of John), and FULLER (John S. father of Ellsie Mae), and FORD (Jacob father of Mabel). These folks were in the Grand Rapids area in the late 1800/early 1900's. Some other surnames that come in during marriages are HARWOOD, TIPTON, ESTEP, MACAVOY, STANTON, BAKER. Just looking for any suggestions, connections, etc. Thanks, Laura
