Laurie: I researched and found the following information at the Erie County Probate Court. Birth and Death records in Probate Court are from 1867-1908. BIRTH RECORDS Vol 1 Page 330 No 37 Anna Frances Stow DOB 4 Feb 1876 Place: Berlin, Erie County, OH Father: Edward T Stow Mother: Sophia Groshoarer Residence: Berlin, OH Reported by: B F Fowler I also checked the DEATH RECORDS and thought this E S Stowe was interesting since he was born in NY and you said that Frances's father was also born in NY.
