Several years ago, I just found out, John McConnell posted a message about a Zebulon Brundage who settled in New London, Ohio. I am interesting in contacting Mr. McConnell, and hope he is still on this list. Anne Roede Giddings in CT

Well...Think about it and keep an eye open, Its not over for another year, and then many more years to undo the damage. Huron Co. was one of my fav. sites for record searches. The most wonderful people help in the Huron-L. I have Family going back to 1815 Firelands. This is just a sad commentary on our times, and the official who took it upon himself to steal these records should be tossed out of his lofty perch, along with the rest of these cowbirds..

Has anyone put this issue out on the general genealogy forum or other forums? I saw another news article in the Morning Journal dated 13 Sept that sounds like it will get worse before it gets better; it says the state health department is going to pursue every collection not under their direct control. I thought that kind of thievery went out with Hitler.

I visited two Ohio county Health Depts this past week (Delaware and Morrow counties) and I had absolutely NO problem searching birth and death records & getting uncertified copies for 25 cents each!

Another thought. Can someone there in Huron County do a genealogical job on this guy who thinks the terrorists are dying to know our birthdays? Like can someone search every site - anybirthday.com, censuses, passenger lists, SSDI, etc., etc., etc., - and put together a packet on this guy, walk into his office, and plunk it down on his desk?

If LDS filmed these certificates, doesn't that mean that anyone in the whole world can walk into their local FHC and order these films? If this is so, has someone bothered to inform the Gestapo of this? Carole

Or the fact that the records go so far as 1929, and the birth index as 1989 available at the LDS FHC's? Who are these guys trying to kid?

The newspaper "may" only accept opinions on their message boards for a short time. That time may be past. I don't know.

Hello All, First, let me introduce myself. My name is Barbara Fowler. I have been working on all lines of my family for about 18 years and enjoying every minute of it. My great grandparents were in Huron Co. for many years. They lived in a sleepy little town called Collins. Their names were Harvey Hamilton Dague and Emily Minnie Goldwood Dague. Almost all of their married life was spent there and they both passed away there. I have a lot of information on them. Harvey's parents also lived in Collins for awhile. They were Hamilton Chauncy Dague and Livaria Williamson Dague. Hamilton lived there until about l890 then moved to Paulding Co. His wife continued in Collins with her children. While they were in Collins they ran a brickyard. These bricks were supposedly used as a sidewalk to the school for one thing. They had a star on each end and looked fluorescent when they got wet. Does anyone know where I might find one of these bricks. I have been there many times (Collins) but of course I can't just go prowling in peoples yards. If you can help I would be ever so greatful. Thanks. Barb [email protected] __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com
