Posted on: Guernsey Co. OH Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Guernsey/1448 Surname: Bell, Gilmore, Downard, Work ------------------------- Margaret, thank you so very much for your response and the info. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. You will probably laugh, but I am fairly computer illiterate! Finally had to give in and get my husband to show me how to get back to rootsweb......anyway.....This is interesting. I hope that I forwarded info about how to get in touch with Nancy in Washington state. Are you also from Washington? What a coincidence! Nancy and I as it turns out, are cousins! Her g.grandmother, Mary Martha Gilmore and my gggrandmother, Elizabeth J. Gilmore were sisters! This search is fun! Seems I remember hearing about you from someone else, in Ohio. Donna,I believe. If and when you get info from Nancy, will you compare it to your info and let me know the outcome? I would like to know if this is another branch of the family tree and if I've found another cousin! I would really like to find info on William S. Bell, Elizabeth Gilmore's husband. Their son, my g.grandfather, was Charles Edward Bell. Both William and his son Charles, were born in Guernsey Co., Antrim, Ohio. I do have the dates of birth and death. I knew Charles E. Bell, as he lived with us for the last few years of his life. Wish I had had both the foresight and maturity to ask about past generations at that time in my life (only 15 at that time). Please keep in touch. I would appreciate email! I do know how to get that! Good luck and thanks again. Have you been at this for a long time? Wanda
