You are in luck. With the information in the obituary that Pat posted, please go to http://veromi.net, and search on the surname alone. You could try other people search sites like yahoo or zaba, but this is the one I use. That will give you a number of family constellations who are clearly your relatives. Study the most recent towns they lived in (I think the ones at the top) and then go to http://411.com and enter just the surname alone for the state of ohio to begin with, or the whole country or another state or specific town if you want. Then see who you want to call, based on the combined information from the obituary and the people search. If you study the information carefully, chances are pretty good that your first call will be to a relative! I have used this technique to locate and connect with hithertoo unknown or much too lost relatives. Just found two more missing branches this week, in fact. I don't have the patience to sit back and wait for them to find me, and they are always so very glad to hear from me. Veromi shows deceased names (I think when there was a trust involved), and in this case I think I saw Julius, possibly at 108 years old! Maybe he is alive, hard to say, but his name is there so you know who his family members are/were. In this case, with an unusual surname, it was easy. If people's phone numbers are unlisted, I try their churches, and that's how I got in touch with someone this week. The churches have to respect privacy laws, but generally will pass on contact information to their members, if there are surviving relatives who are still church members and you are pleasant when you explain why. Hope that helps.

The 411 web page may be misleading! I have not used 411 for a while so I thought I would try it again.... and it has not changed. Trying several family members it gave several wrong answers... for instance an aunt who passed several years ago and a house my son owns but has never lived in. You may want to try Switchboard.com... and the results are much faster than 411. http://switchboard.com/ Robert the cohens <the.cohens.in.california@gmail.com> wrote: You are in luck.
