Hello, Just to let everyone know Stark County Library does offer 3 free research requests per week via an online form. They have the Ohio Death Records and will copy for .25 to .50 depending on size of paper. Stark County is in Canton and is the least expensive place to get the Ohio Death Records from 1908-1944. They also have early Ohio birth and death records 1867-1908 and WW1 draft card records A list of their holdings is at http://www.stark.lib.oh.us/index.html Click on Library Services and then Genealogy Services then request forms.

I was at the Fairview Park library, for all of us locally, you know what a WONDERFUL genealogy department they have. I inquired about the library getting the early death certificates. Many public libraries have been purchasing the death certificate micro-film rolls the Ohio History Society have (death records from 1908 - 1953). The closest library system to us in Cleveland that holds this collection is Akron. I was told that the only real way to get this to be considered was to write a letter to the director. So can all of us in the Cuyahoga County area write a letter to the director to tell what a wonderful resource this would be? It would mean for us not having to go through the mail order process of the backlogged OHS, or pay the very expensive County government prices to obtain a certified copy. The address is..

Angela, I am not certain that I explained this before, so forgive me if I had. Prior to the end of WW I, Hungary was part of the Habsburg Empire aka Austria Hungary, which inc all or parts of the modern countries of Austria, Hungary, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Czech Rep, Slovakia, Roumania, Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro. That old Empire had 12 official languages. After WW I, c. 1920, the victors and the Habsburg Empire (the loosers) "signed" the Trianon Treaty, which created new countries and reduced Hungary by perhaps half. What we need to understand is that the US was NOT the first multi-ethnic society in the world! And that someone coming from that old Habsburg Empire could have been identified as having a Nationality of Hungarian or Austrian. In the early 1900s Nationality simply meant "the country of which a person is a citizen or subject of". If you look at many (not all) Ellis Island ship manifests there will be 2 columns one for Nationality (citizenship) and one for Race or People, which today we call ethnicity. There is little chance that if he were Slovak he would have identified himself as Magyar. Perhaps you need to do a bit more research before you become overly concerned with what his ethnicity was! Suffice it to say at this point anyones conjecture as to his ethnicity if futile. Some more research in the US may help. For instance I think of some questions such as... 1) while the name of the town was crossed through, can you make out any of the letters? What does it look like? 2) What was his wife's name? 3) when did he arrive in the US? 4) where did he attend church in Cleveland? 5) where did he live in Cleveland? Robert Jerin JANDA143@aol.com wrote: Dear List, Thanks to the help from this list, I received the petition for my John HEGEDISH yesterday in the mail! This gives his birthdate, the town has a ~~~ through it, but it states HUNGARY! It states the day he arrived and the day he "declared his intention to become a citizen." There is a handwritten notation, "Alien under 18 years of age No. 3324" and then it is signed on the same date, which is the same date of his declaration. Would that be because he was under 18 at arrival? It shows his occupation as a tin plater???? Back to one of my earlier questions: Slovak vs. Magyar. Is it possible that his wife was Slovak and that is why he said that he was? (family stories are such that she was quite the lead foot in the family~not very kind, to put it mildly) This document does not show the town, therefore I hope to rely on baptismal records of the children to figure it out. Besides the baptismal records, does anyone have any good ideas?

A virus that is distributed as an attachment will not reach you through a RootsWeb mailing list. A recent virus, and several imitations of it, may result in your receiving an e-mail (or a greeting card) with a virus attached, that appears to come from RootsWeb or from an address you are familiar with. Some virus will send a message to all the unread messages in the infected person's mailbox folders; another will use addresses found in the infected person's address book. They send messages using a forged address (for instance, using RootsWeb or the infected person in the return address). The subject line may be from a message that was recently received, making it even more credible. While it may appear to come from RootsWeb, that is only an illusion of the virus -- our address and the subject line is a forgery. What can you do? Protect yourself by never opening an attachment from someone you do not know, or that look suspicious. If an unexpected attachment comes from someone you do know, write to confirm that the attachment was sent by them prior to opening it.

"From 1824 to 1906, minor aliens who had arrived in the United States as a minor at least 3 years before their 18th birthday could petition for naturalization at the age of 21."

Is it possible that >his wife was Slovak and that is why he said that he was? Prior to WWI, there was only the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary. So many Slovaks would identify themselves as being from Hungary (Magyar). A Slovak identifying himself as a Magyar ! Not likely ! There was a strong effort by Budapest to Magyarize the Slovaks and most Slovaks would not declare themselves to be Magyar. As I mentioned in the past the at least some of the HEGEDIS found in Ellis Island records declared their race as Slovak. Perhaps this John was or perhaps by the time that claim was made Slovakia had gained "independence" from Hungary and he was a Magyar from Slovakia. -- Dennis M.

Greetings! It is not often that I feel it necessary to intervene in the conversations of this community of researchers. However, it has been brought to my attention that a string of dialogue has taken a wrong turn and is far off the subject of geneology - bordering on personal insullt. This type of dialogue is not supported by Rootsweb and subsequently, this list. I am therefore requesting that it cease immediately. Please remember to keep all conversations shared with this mailing list on topic. If you wish to discuss anything off the subject of geneology research, please do this privately. If you find you are being harrassed by another person on your private email, you can report this directly to your ISP (internet provider service) as harrassment. Neither I or Rootsweb can control the actions of individuals off this list. If a subscribed member is repeatedly found to be off subject and is distubring the flow of the list, they will be removed and not permitted to resubscribe.
