Greetings, I wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to this mailing list, I'm not sure how active it is. I am 27 years old and begin researching for a class project back in middle school since then I somewhat took it over from my mother and my aunt. As a history major it helps, and its so much fun! I'm researching the following names The Hout Family, Brogans, Mayes, Mangan, Prechtl, Dooley's... There are others as well. My research is on the following website http://www.mcunion.us http://www.hout.us I'm willing to help out with anything that needs to be done with anything. Please feel free to introduce yourself to me. Thank you, Matthew T. Hout Hout Family Archives

This is what I pulled off of the Cleveland encyclopedia: The HOME OF THE HOLY FAMILY, an orphanage, was established in June 1895 (inc. 8 Dec. 1896) by Ellen Donovan. Donovan hoped to found a Roman Catholic religious community in Cleveland to serve the poor, especially orphaned children. Assisted by her sister, Theresa, and some friends, she began caring for several orphans in a residence on E. Madison St. Though her plans for a religious community did not mature, the orphans came. With funds obtained from sewing and begging, Donovan purchased a site at 645 Woodland Hills Ave. The home existed precariously on the proceeds from benefits, dances, and card parties until 1918, when it joined the Community Fund. Soon the home was receiving funds from both this fund and the fledgling CATHOLIC CHARITIES CORP. Donovan was innovative, believing that siblings should be reared together rather than separately, then common orphanage practice. Her charges attended neighborhood schools and played with local children. In 1911 the home relocated to! 18120 Puritas Ave. on the west side. Donovan and her assistants staffed the home until her death in 1939. The Sisters of the Incarnate Word then managed the facility until it closed in 1952; the remaining children went to PARMADALE CHILDREN'S VILLAGE OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL. I was wondering if anyone out there knows anything more indepth about this place, or had family members there, My Great-Great grandfather had to put his children here for a few years right around 1902-1904

Thank you surname Leimkuehler Have a Nice Day! Jill Leimkuehler

Yes, the chocolate factory was (and still is) Baker. They still have the original place on Holmes and now have a second store in Willoughby Hills on Chardon Road--ironically a block from my current dentist! Pat in Cleveland

Thanks for the information on the Akron Library. I just sent them an email this morning requesting 3 death certificates. They responded saying they received my email and expect it to take 2-3 weeks depending on the extensiveness of my request. There is a base fee of $1 plus 5 cents per copy. Not a bad cost considering the cost of most certificates anymore. Just thought I would share with you all - Carla Leber "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather ... to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -- WOW -- What a ride!"

Okay, now I guess I'm going to have to get my cousin in on this discussion. She lives in Colorado now, but she played piano for a dance studio in that area - and I'm wondering if it was Mrs. Blevins'. It would have been about 1959 or 1960. I do remember the candy factory - yum!! I'm pretty sure it was on Holmes - just north off St.Clair Ave - didn't that street become London Rd after you crossed St. Clair? It was just one block east of the street I lived on - Alhambra.

Omigosh! I went to Mrs. Blevins also. Embarrassed myself in front of Santa one year. Got so flustered by his presence that I ran off the stage! And Jack Frost donuts...my dad would bring them home after night school while studying on the GI Bill. My mother wouldn't let me have Novocain either. Told me it would teach me to brush my teeth better. I went to Dr. DeMarco. I don't remember a chocolate factory on Holmes, but I think the L. Baker Chocolate Company was on London. Mmmmmm...their chocolate covered cashews were to die for! The Houston, Texas, area is sure a long distance from that area, but it's like it's right next door in my mind. Hopefully Brush High School Alumni will have a 40th class reunion next year so I can make it a plan to come home next year!

Maybe the Catholic school was St. Jerome's on Lakeshore?

There were a number of people who worked at NYCRR. My grandfather was a shipping clerk for the NYCRR. My family was part of the migration to South Euclid. Not that far up the road, but a world apart!

Lynn, Contact me off the list. Looks like we were at Villa Angela at the same time. Ceal

Oh, it's so difficult to pull those names out of the recesses of my mind any more! The names Mrs. Petty and Mrs. Tanno almost sound familiar. Since I was only there for Kindergarten, First, and part of Second Grade, I don't really remember much. Banking day on Friday...now that I remember! Is my recollection correct when I remember classrooms being on the perimeter and a large area in the middle (an open gym?)? I don't recall the names of the side streets, but one of them may have been Ruple Road. I haven't been by that area in years, so I don't know what's there now. (I've lived in the Houston area since 1980.) I haven't looked at some of my old school photos in years, so I don't know if I have any of them from Brett. That would be a hoot! My parents graduated from Collinwood in 1942. My husband actually went there for a brief time around 1966! I have many fond memories of that area and time. The last time I was there, things were SO different. I remember a little family store at the corner of East 156 and Holmes Avenue. When I think of small family stores, I always relate to that. I remember the Fisher Foods on St. Clair just west of Five Points. I remember riding the street car in the Five Points area. I remember the slate sidewalks, and the vineyard next door to our house. Times were good back then!

I am getting really nostalgic in my old age. It sure was a different world then. I remember names of some of my teachers: Mrs. Petty, Mrs. Freeman, Mrs. Tanno, Ms Crist/Crise(?). Are you old enough to remember banking day on Fridays, and how we saved dimes on a little card, then deposited them into our accounts? Mrs. Petty gave me "what for" one day, accusing me of wearing lipstick to school (when I was in 6th grade). I hotly denied it (how unthinkable!) and when she sent me to the bathroom to wash my face, I looked in the mirror and discovered the "lipstick" was actually blood on my lip - I had gone to the dentist before coming to school and my gum had apparently been bleeding. She gave me a big hug and apologized, and she remained my favorite teacher that school year! I also remember that I actually was given piano lessons at school, and played in the school orchestra. To answer Ceal, Brett School was on St. Clair, just a few blocks east of Collinwood HS, which was at the intersection of East 152nd. For the life of me I can no longer remember the names of the two side streets where the school was, but it's long gone - I think maybe some apartments are there now - is that right, Lynne? Both of my parents graduated from Collinwood (my dad in 1938 and mom in 1939), and I have an old autograph book that my mom kept from her 6th grade class at East Clark Elementary School, which was located on East 146th St. I have several class photos from the late 1920's and early 1930's from East Clark, but don't know identity of any of the children, other than my mom. My big regret is that I have no class photos of my years at Brett - cannot imagine what became of them.

Until I was about 6 years old (in 1953) I lived across the street from East Clark Elementary School (which is still there in 2004 bec. I took a photo of it in July; they have a website!). We moved to a house in Willowick, Ohio, in Lake County....St. Mary Magdalene, then on to Villa Angela Academy in Cleveland. My father went to Collinwood High School in the late 30s.

I hotly denied it (how unthinkable!) and when she sent me to the bathroom to wash my face, I looked in the mirror and discovered the "lipstick" was actually blood on my lip - I had gone to the dentist before coming to school and my gum had apparently been bleeding. She gave me a big hug and apologized, and she remained my favorite teacher that school year! I also remember that I actually was given piano lessons at school, and played in the school orchestra. To answer Ceal, Brett School was on St. Clair, just a few blocks east of Collinwood HS, which was at the intersection of East 152nd. For the life of me I can no longer remember the names of the two side streets where the school was, but it's long gone - I think maybe some apartments are there now - is that right, Lynne? Both of my parents graduated from Collinwood (my dad in 1938 and mom in 1939), and I have an old autograph book that my mom kept from her 6th grade class at East Clark Elementary School, which was located on East 146th St. I have several class photos from the late 1920's and early 1930's from East Clark, but don't know identity of any of the children, other than my mom. My big regret is that I have no class photos of my years at Brett - cannot imagine what became of them.

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. If you have an e-mail from RootsWeb, and there is an attachment of any kind, don't open it. Use a virus protection program. Know what viruses are out there so you will recognize one when if you get it.
