    1. Live in Iowa; Will swap lookups
    2. Paul Rabe
    3. In Fairfield County; I'm researching the family lines of Rabe, McAnespie, and Shull. My tree has bumped into Mock, Ochs, Pairan, Steiner, Falluter, Whiley/Wiley, and Hamilton. I live five blocks from Iowa State Univ library; I work two miles from the Iowa Historical Society Museum (walk-in census microfilm for all years for all Iowa counties); I get to Iowa City (and its university) regularly. As you might guess, looking up information in Lancaster is not easy for me. I will gladly swap lookups and copying in Iowa for lookups and copying in Lancaster. Just send me your SPECIFIC requests; I'll offer what I consider an equitable trade; and you decide if you want to make the swap. No money will change hands. And even though I've asked this on over ten other bulletin boards without even one response, I'll ask here as well: Can anyone tell me what happened to my gr-gr-grandfather, Henry Edward Rabe, (born 1881 July 25, child of Charles Rabe and Emma Shull) after disappearing from Lancaster before the 1910 census? He married Teresa McAnespie around 1901 January, fathered four children, and then seems to vanish. Teresa was living with all four children at her parents' home but not listed as a widow in the 1910 census. Charles' 1927 obituary places Henry in Cape Girardeau, Missouri; but that (it turns out) was Henry's first cousin Harry, born in Lancaster the day before Henry(!). By 1920 Teresa was in Akron, married to Manny Steinhauser of West Virginia. My Henry is not listed in either the Ohio or the Social Security Death Indices; or any post 1904 Lancaster directories.
