Okay I understand, I guess I'm thinking in one dimension. We bought a house 16 years ago, deed was tranfered into our name, we just sold our house, deed was transfered into present owners name. My parents, grandparents same situation. When my grandfather died the house went to my grandmother, when she died the house was sold because no one could afford taxes and bills on it. But I guess there are situations where more then one property exists and falls through the cracks with someone in the family paying the taxes, either renting the house or living in the house and the deed just never getting changed over..I still think it's weird that instead of "widow of Moses Jewett before me personally" it says "Moses Jewett and wife Adeline before me personally". I have lots of deeds from early Irish family that settled Euclid/South Euclid. Now I'm wondering how many "weren't standing before them personally" Cindy ----- Original Message ----- From: Brigid O'Donnell <mbod@erols.com> Date: Tuesday, April 5, 2005 2:49 pm Subject: Re: [OHCUYAHO] JEWETT, Moses, Oct 3, 1788 Hollis NH - 1850 ?
