Dear listers: Seems like there are quite a few of you out there with HERITAGE roots! Yipee! >From the looks of the messages, maybe a few of you will make connections (esp with Richard) Thanks to all who responded to my query about Firman HERITAGE. I am at a disadvantage not knowing who his parents were (yet), but I will stay with the list in hopes I can pick up some clues from you all in the meantime. HERITAGE doesn't seem to be a common name, wouldn't it be great if someone with the computer savvy would make a HERITAGE rootsweb list? I am willing to bet we would all find connections somehow! I read an old query (9/98) by Hermon B. Fagley, that described how so many Gloucester Co. families made their way to Ohio (Clermont Co.)(revolutionary war soldiers were granted land in SW Ohio by Contential Congress). Since I know my Firman HERITAGE's parents were both born in New Jersey,and the name HERITAGE is so prominent in Gloucester Co., and so many Gloucester families came to the area of Ohio where I find my Firman, I have a strong feeling my Firman HERITAGES parents were from Gloucester Co. If you go to the LDS site (www.familysearch.org), click on custom search, click on surname search and type in HERITAGE, this is what you get: Robert Dawson family , Leake, Donald Eugene, 1919- Heritage family Bible records, 1809-1861 Heritage Bible record [1734-1816] Heritage family Bible records, 1778-1859 Family records of Pond, Smock, Wiley, Heritage and related families , Pond, May Wiley, 1907- William Herritage of eastern North Carolina and his descendants , Coleman, Stella Virginia Herritage The Cattell family in America : the descendants of Jonas Cattell and Mary Pearce of Burlington County, New Jersey, and twenty-five other Cattell immigrations traced in both male and female lines , Rogers, Donald H. (Donald Heys), 1912- Heritage family records The Heritage family , Simpson, Mrs. Walter A. (Walter Aborn) Heritage family , Ries, Ruth Heritage Gloucester County in the eighteen-fifties : being a diary of John Cawman Eastlack , Eastlack, John Cawman, 1808-1888 You then can scan the titles and go to your LDS FHC and order the films or fiche. I just found this, so haven't looked at any of these myself. Has anyone else? One other thought (another long shot): Is anyone aware of the FIRMAN surname in NJ? Any connection to the HERITAGE surname by marriage? Got to thinking my Firman HERITAGE could have been named for his mother's maiden name, or either grandmother's maiden name.....
