Hi All, If you visit the Erie County Archives site at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/oh/erie/erie.htm but you have trouble accessing the files, please be patient and retry, since the FTP server may be experiencing difficulties. Or, retrying during off-peak hours should bring success. But it still may take several attempts. Please report any other problems to me at tedohio@yahoo.com Anyone with Florence Twp. or Vermilion Twp. connections: feel free to contact me for more info about these pioneers. I cannot be of much help with other areas of the County, though. Thanks, Ted tedohio@yahoo.com
