Is anyone researching the Beitt surname in Ohio? I am trying to piece together the Beitt family in Cleveland. My grandmother, Hannah Beitt, was born in 1871 in Germany, died in1948 in Indianapolis, married Ira Lee Hammond. I believe her parents must have been Gottfried Beitt (1818-1908) and Justina [Gustie] Gross (1825-1910 ). In the 1880 census their name is spelled Beight. The 1900 census indicates there were 13 children, eight of them living in 1900. They immigrated from Germany/Prussia around 1873, and according to the 1920 census listing for the wife of Paul Karp, may have come from Koenigsburg. It is possible that some of the family arrived on the Caledonia on 10 July 1873. The Castle Garden database has their surname listed/indexed as Bertt. Four of their children are Justine (1863-1910 m. Paul Karp), Hannah (my grandmother), William (1853-1927, m. Augusta), and Caroline (1874-?, m. Hahn). Between the census, the Cleveland Necrology file, Cleveland City Directories, property records, and scanty family lore, I have found other possible children, and also Zuck grandchildren. There are also Beitts from Chicago who moved back to Cleveland and Medina (Herman b. abt 1849, m Eliza, children August, Harry, Paul, and Minnie). Family stories suggest that the children were my mother’s cousins. I hope there is some distant cousin out there to join me in tackling the Beitt mystery.

Good afternoon List, I would like to invite you to view my fairly new website on Cleveland's Southside, nka Tremont. The site deals basically with the history of the area as opposed to a genealogical site. I do and will have lists of names of individuals who belonged to different organizations as they become available and I find time to get them together.

I am not related to this line - however, I have 3 pictures of this man, taken Cleveland. My Mother was engaged to him, but they never married. These pictures were taken1930. I am posting this because of the recent thread about this surname even though it is spelled differently as written on the back of the pictures. Anyone interested I will be glad to scan a copy to you.

Some disabled children in this area were sent to Apple Creek in Wayne County. It very recently closed. Somehow, I doubt you will get much in the way of records, for confidentiality reasons. You might contact the Ohio Historical Society to see if they might have been sent there or if they know. Also, County homes (infirmaries) may have housed disabled children. Early on (1800s), this was typical, especially for mentally delayed folks. If they required too much care, they had to go elsewhere. I vaguely recall something about Orient records being at Ohio Historical Society. I have gotten records from another institution from OHS. You have to fill out a form, swearing that you are the next of kin or oldest living relative to get these records. Then, basically you only get the admission form. Cynthia in Lake County

Just because there are two marriage license issued does not mean she was married twice, unless at that time they only recorded marriages. I have ancestor in Cuyahoga County marriage index but once I got the actual copy of license, it shows licensed "returned" and never signed by anyone to show actual marriage ceremony was performed.

Ruth I had just recently heard a story about a man that spent a short time in the 1930s in what is now the Columbus Developmental Center and then later he was sent to a facility in Apple Creek near Wooster, Ohio.
