Grounds born Sept 1853 in Ohio, they got married 1879 in Ohio. They had 3 children. 1 unknown, Thomas Francis (Frank) Kelly born 9-17-1882 in Iowa died 11-2-1939 in Chicago Illinois, and Kathryn E. Kelly born November 1884 in Missouri. Per 1910 census Kathryn was 24 yrs old and widowed and had a child Myrtle born abt 1905 and was 5 yrs old and born in Missouri. We don't know much and have been searching for years. Frank Kelly married Anna Markowitch from PA and had 2 children Bill and Kathryn, we believe they met in PA. Kathryn we know lived in St. Louis Missouri a long time because my dad and his sister remember visiting a house that had 2 statues of lions and the livingroom possibly oriental furniture. Anyone who can help me locate anyone connected to the Kellys or Grounds I would really appreciate hearing from you...thank you...

Roanan in 1935, Florida and She died in 1968 in Miami Dade Florida. She had no children. My mother was apparently also called or according to the 1920, 1930, census Maebell and Marybeth. When ever my mother wrote her name is was spelled MAEBETH E. (Elizabeth Ellen) White/ South/ Harner. I can find no census that refers to Aunt Ruth. My Grand mother died an Emery but had been married since 14 and to several different men but 2 times each to 2 of the men and I believe Mother said Mr. Emory was one of them. My eldest brother said he thought that Mr. Emery's first name was Albert. My mother said her father was killed in a mill accident when she was a girl and she was born 1913 so I figure she had to be 7 to 10 for her to remember it as when she was 6 I found a census record that had Head 2 by grandma's name.

Looking for marriage records for John MOOMEY and Margaret Smith. I would guess they got married sometime around late 1830's to mid 1840's. This is one of my many brick walls. I have not been able to even verify where John MOOMEY was born or even Margaret Smith date and place of birth. They were in one of the following counties, Fairfield, Franklin, Hancock and or Pickaway Counties. Our genealogy Library has very little books or information on these counties. All help and advice appreciated. Nettie I

Author: Specialkg Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.ohio.unknown/13224/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am trying to establish what period of time someone lived in Cleveland. In is only going to be a short time but is important in my research. They are in the Canadian Censuses in 1891. In January 1893 they are living in Cleveland where one of their children is born. In 1894 they are back in Canada. They had a boy born in 1885 in Scotland. He would have been school age when they lived in Cleveland. I wondered if school records were accessible and what information I could get from them. The other thing is that in Scotland one can access a book called a Valuation Roll. If you know the address you can usually find who lived there for the period of time that you are researching. Although if it is just for a short spell the record can be missed. I have the address they lived in Cleveland. Is there anything that can be checked to see how long they were at that address. I know I am clutching at straws here. I am going in a round about way trying to prove something. Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Betty Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Lynda: Apolonia and Stephen were living in Flatrock, Henry, OH in 1920, just a few houses down from my g-g-grandparents, Joe and Karolina Tomecek (written Tomeck on the census). Karolina's mother was named Jeneve Studenka, who married John Chanack (sp?). They were also from Znorovy. I am trying to see if I can get into any microfilms for the area, but I am not familiar enough with the way the records were set up to find anything. In addition, I have found several of my more recent Tomecek ancestors' first communion and confirmation records, and several of them have Kurivials listed. For example, my g-g-aunt, Frances Tomecek Jurasek, is listed as the patron of Mary Kurivial in 1928. So the families are closely connected. You may want to check out pilot.familysearch.org for more of these Catholic church records in Henry, Ohio. Have you tried ordering a death certificate for either Apolonia or Stephen? I am curious as to whether Stephen's parents are listed on the certificate. Catherine: several of my ancestors from this area also went to Michigan (mostly Juraseks). If you haven't checked out the Michigan marriage records to 1925 at pilot.familysearch.org, you should. There were several Janiceks in the records. I hope we will be able to make more connections here! Either of you are free to email me at krisd54@yahoo.com Thanks! -Kristen Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Author: infohuntress1959 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.ohio.unknown/13221/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Worldcat.org is an Interlibrary loan system that libraries use to find and obtain books from other libraries in the US or around the world. Each library system has their won rules regarding its use. My library system will obtain items from within the 50 states but will not go outside the country. Sometimes they will even obtain materials from Library of Congress. Some libraries will charge for obtaining an item via OCLC while others provide the service for free. Why? At this point in time it is figured to cost approximately $35 for your library to put forth the paperwork, search OCLC, see if particular library is willing to send the item (if not, the search must begin again), pay the postage, get the item to you then return it to the lending library. However, this service is important for genealogical purposes. You may find genealogical books about your family. Try using the advanced search -- it's easy! Type a surname into the keyword search. You may get 1000s of ! hits or 0, but it is sure worth the try. If you find something -- either print out the entire record or take the following info to your local library (accuracy is very important): author or editor; the exact title, including subtitles (this is also very important); publisher, publication year (copyright); the OCLC number; and if provided, the ISBN number. The ISBN number is the "International Standard Book Number". Each edition of a book receives a number. The first number denotes the country which published the book. The next few numbers are related to a specific publisher. The last few numbers are individual to that edition of the book. So give it a try -- who knows what treasure(s) you will discover.
