Tinda, Not knowing where you live but have you written to the library at Berlin Hts. Ohio. I have been there a couple of summers ago when I was researching my lines from Berlin Hts . I visited the library, the historian (forgetting his name right now..sorry) and have even been in this cemetery. It is quite small..I have relatives burried there too.. Hope this helps some....Susan Tinda Marchant wrote: > Hi, This may sound like the worlds dumbest question, but I need to be > sure that I have not overlooked something before I go off into other > areas (geographic) of > research. > FACT: It has been said that my Thomas J.
