Hello Listers & Descendants, I am like you. I have helped many find lost family members. Find lost Ancestors and descendants, many many times. You may have seen some of my etc ref; to these. I have also asked for assistance in my search for solving Gen problems of which I have a big SUCH delima problem in Ohio just now. I am now getting some great wonderful help on my problem created by some mistakes when my family member died in 1918 in Van Wert Co Oh.Ohio. Namely my Louisa Elizabeth ROOKS b 6 Oct 1839. Proving my Grt Grt Aunt Louisa ROOKS is not a SMITH. has been finding proof of her descendncy and descenandts , and parentage. and more. I beleive that >the person that put her descendency which is correct and the Ancestry >which is NOT CORRECT to the JOHN and Jane Slagle SMITH of Whitley Co Ind 1850 census in to WCFT several weeks ago. Possibly hadn't obtained proof of mar to a Joseph ( Joel) Boring in Clinton Co. Oh unless by some quirk there still is out there the same persons only with name of Smith on marriage . lic and cert. Unk but checked and none found. by me. The name listed of Smith for maiden name was incorrectly stated that was listed in Louisa's funeral notice by the Newspaper. Van Wert Oh Times of 1918. ALSO possibly without PROOF of My LOUISA ROOKS born in Clinton Co Oh, being a SMITH by Birth. of which she was NOT: and therefore there can not be any such proof, as her mother as I have proof of, was Mahala Smithson and father was William Rooks. and she was also born in GREENE TWP , Clinton Co Oh. So many similarities are carried wrongly in this imfo. GREENE TWP listed as GREENE CO, Oh. SMITHSON surname of Mother mistaken for Louisa's maiden name and shortened to Smith, and given to newspaper as Cemetery has ROOKS as maiden name. A dau of the Smith's also named Louisa and b in 1839. but on 1850 census of Whitley Co Ind same time as and Louisa Rooks b 1839 on 1850 on census of Marion TWP in GRUNDY CO MO was with her correct Parents the Wm and Mahala Smithson ROOKS. 1 proof, I have Louisa's ROOKS mar cert as Proof mar to Joseph Boring. and also , 2 .. proof, Ida's , a dau. b in Clinton Co. Oh in 1874, Birth as Louisa ROOKS mother and JOSEPH BORING father. >Sent this imfo and still the wrong imfo was put in to WCFT. >NOW WHAT do I DO about this?????? >I am getting more proof, 3 proof, already proof where her death record in Ohio has been recorded in >the Cemetery Book ,her name as LOUISA ROOKS. (now 3 proofs). 4 and 5....Proofs I also have several >more of mar. of several ch in Clinton Co Oh with mother as Louisa ROOKS. Now that is 5 proofs and 7 Proof, I have 1850 census w/ Joel (Joseph) Boring with parents, and 1860/70/80/ census of Clinton Co Oh listing the Joseph ( Joel) Boring with Louisa and their children, 5 of them., William Calvin b 1860 Dec., Arminta ( Minta), Ida, Clara, Sarah. I also have more Gen on most all of them etc some descendants. I am after more. >What would you do .??? 8 proof... More marriages in Ohio, 9.... Plus found a Elizabeth Boring ( mar.) and living close by , who is a sister to Joseph ( Joel) Boring living in same area as a bro. of his wife, Louisa Rooks, Boring, name William Harrison Rooks, I also found all living at same time .these Borings/ Rooks were living so they had to have been in comunication with each other in 1800's into 1900's. Any suggestions how else to solve this and get the wrong imfo removed from WCFT. THis shows not to trust all imfo put into these posting sites as they could have mistakes in them. Please when there are questions unresolved about Genealogy, don't post into these sites as causes others later on many problems.. If you do and find it incorrect , later , please, please do all a favor and correct it as soon as discovered. Also it is best to have proof of marriages and other vitals before posting or state imfo is questionable. by ???? etc. Any replies please direct them to my E Mail please. Hope this helps all doing research on these families. as well as my own lines. Maxine Wilton. Thank you all for replies. forthcoming. mmwaw@sprynet.com
