    3. Hello Everyone, I am new to the list. I'm helping a friend search for his Grparents who he has not been able to find aft 15y of searching. This is what is known: (Daniels or McDaniels?; Nichols or MIchols?) Calvin DANIELS and wife Mary NICHOLS had a son George Arthur DANIELS born 04 Aug 1890 in Dayton, Ohio. The parents' name came from George's marriage record. The birth date and place came from the newly discovered WWI Draft Reg. Card; however, the family always thought that George had been born in West Virginia until this point with a birth date of 1894. Parents' births, marriage & death dates & places are unknown. Siblings are unknown although it is thought that there may have been a brother to George named Albert. The family may have lived for a time in Dayton, OH and George, himself, lived for a short while in Akron, OH. He was in OH during the great flood of 1908 but was in Saskatchewan, Canada and married in Saskatchewan by the year 1918. His US WWI Draft Card shows that he filled it out while living in Canada but the Card was stamped American. Mining and West Virginia do figure into the family but we're not sure how - family story has it that George may have been around the coal mines when young. As for his father's name of Calvin DANIELS, in searching the name does appear quite often in West Virginia... so we're wondering if he may have been born there. Any help in this would be so appreciated. Shirley
