Could anyone tell me if there is a way to get a copy of a blank ship manifest or make one to fill out so you can read it? I cannot make out what the writing says across the top of the manifest on the New York passenger list. Thanks for your help. Cindy

Hello all. Vicki's message about the trip to Allen County Library prompts me to ask a couple of general questions. I'm planning on driving to the library and spending a couple of days there. I know they're in their temporary quarters on Berry Street, but I need to know if this is a fairly safe area. I also need to know if there are some motels nearby that are pretty good. Lastly, can anyone give me any hints as to what I can expect to find. I did print up the library's webpage, and they did give me ideas of what they have; however, if anyone has any good advice about this, please let me know. Thanks!

It was just brought to my attention that on the 1920 census sheets (for our area) there are numbers written along the right margin. Does anyone know what these might be for? I can't detect any particular pattern or reason behind them. Three lines might have the 178, then the next one has 930, then a few with nothing, and then 38, etc. Thanks, Sandy

Just a short to to Robert and all those who answered my query on the Shakers. Now just to find the records of those that converted.

Hi group, I'm hoping that someone may have knowledge of The Milk Man's Fraternal League or the Milk Man's League at Cleveland or in Ohio? Google searches turned up nothing. I'm wondering if somewhere there may be an archive of materials from these groups?? I learned about these organizations from: The Book of Clevelanders, published at Cleveland, Ohio by Burrows Brothers Co., 1914. On page 8 is: "Edward J. Adams was born in Germany on 26 February, 1856 the son of John Adams. He was educated in Germany. He is a Treasurer of the Milk Man's League and a Treasurer of the Martin Luther Church. He is also member of the Milk Man's Fraternal League." Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated! Ivan Nichols -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Hi, Joyce! The Shakers had a community in Shaker Hts., Ohio. But since they did not believe in marital relations, none had any children. They would instead adopt orphans to keep the congregation going. Try the Shaker Heights Historical Society, Shaker Hts., Ohio, 44120.

Hello list. I am looking for the names of those who belonged to the Shaker community. Can anyone tell me where I might find them, or does some kind soul have access to those records that would do a look up for me. Thank you JOyce

Dear Virginia, While we'd certainly like to assist you in your family research, the purpose of the disscussion group is to deepen and broaden the research skills of the participants, not to do research on specific family lines. However, I'll be happy to keep your family surnames in mind in case we run into anything that might help your research.

I am interested in anything that you may find on the Luthy, Huerner or Staley family. However, I am unable to attend your meetings as I am out of state and unable to travel due to health conditions. Can someone let me know if any info on these families comes to light? I would certainly appreciate it if that is a possibility. Sincerely, Virginia

The Great Lakes Chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists is sponsoring an Advanced Genealogy Discussion Group. The next meeting is on Saturday, March 19, 2005. The purpose of the group is to discuss advanced genealogical methodology as presented in case studies that have appeared in various scholarly genealogical publications. The group meets the third Saturday of the month, starting at 10:00 am, at one of the Akron-Summit County Public Library meeting rooms. The library is located at 60 South High St., Akron, OH. The meetings last about one and one-half hours. *Note due to the Ohio Genealogical Society Conference there will be no discussion group meeting in April.* The discussions are free but pre-registration is required. Any experienced genealogical researcher is welcome to enroll. As a pre-requisite, participants should be familiar with Dr. William M. Litchman's article, "Teaching Analysis, Logic, and the Research Process: A Seminar Approach", from the NGS News Magazine, Nov/Dec 2000, pages 340-343. Each participant is requested to read several times, in advance of the meeting, the article to be discussed at the meeting. The article chosen for the March 19, 2005 discussion appeared in The American Genealogist, July 2004. It is titled "Dilley of Northern Virginia and Ohio, A Proposed Solution Hanging on a Single Word" beginning on page 220. To register, or for any questions, contact Donna Gruber at djg@bright.net or call (419) 846-3533.

I am trying to find any descendants of Joseph BAUER (1850-1924) and Francis BOWERS (1859-1938). Both men were born in Pittsburgh, moved to Cleveland around 1880 and died in Cleveland area. They lived at several different addresses in the area of 87th-94th streets and were buried from St. Thomas Aquinas Church. Joseph BAUER md. Amanda MILLER in about 1880 and had the following children: Leonard, Joseph, Louis and Harry. Frank BOWERS md. Mary VOELKER in about 1884 and had the following children: Edna Bowers ROSENFELDER (1886-?) Charlotte Bowers MURPHY (1888-1928) Corinne Bowers COUGHLIN (1889-?) Brother Lawrence Bowers (1898-?) Thank you Paul Bauer

Bowling Green State University does indeed have a nice genealogy department. However, they are rather restrictive when visiting the library, i.e., you must place all your possessions in a locker and can only take a pad and pencil in with you. You have to do the research yourself as the staff is limited in assistance. I would like to suggest that if you are doing research that would involve the Toledo, Ohio area, you might want to contact the Local History and Genealogy Department at the Lucas County Main Library in downtown Toledo. A great percentage, if not all the records, that you will find at BGSU can be found at the Main Library in Toledo. And the staff at the Main Library is exceptionally helpful. The library is located at 325 Michigan St. in downtown Toledo across from the courthouse. The phone number of the genealogy department at the library if you wish to call ahead and see if they can be of assistance is: (419) 259-5233. They are open Mon - Thur 9 to 9, Fri & Sat 9 to 5:30, and Sun 1 to 5:30. I do most of my research at the Main Library and have been very successful. Hope this helps! Kathy (in Toledo)

I might come back in the future...when I can get some definite information on the Rist and other related families Michelle Australia
