Dave, Thanks so much for the information regarding military records from WW ll. I'll give it a try. Penny

Penny To get WW-II service records, you have to submit a standard form 180 to National Personnel Records Center (Military Personnel Records), 9700 Page Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63132-5100 http://www.nara.gov/regional/mprsf180.html It's hit or miss as to whether they still have them due to the fire of 1973. http://www.nara.gov/regional/mprfire.html Dave OHLORAIN-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > Subject: > > OHLORAIN-D Digest Volume 01 : Issue 234 > > Today's Topics: > #1 [OHLORAIN] Mona/SQUIRES ["Duane Rosendale" <bear@nwonline.n] > #2 Re: [OHLORAIN] Mona/SQUIRES [Mennellfam@aol.com] > #3 Re: [OHLORAIN] Roll Call ["Gary Nervig" <dannervig@worldnet.] > #4 [OHLORAIN] THOMAS Surname-Rocheste ["Kim" <kslone@erienet.net>] > #5 [OHLORAIN] world war ll [PHanes1368@aol.com] > > Administrivia: > To unsubscribe from OHLORAIN-D, send a message to > > OHLORAIN-D-request@rootsweb.com > > that contains in the body of the message the command > > unsubscribe > > and no other text.

Can anyone on the list tell me where I need to write to get my Dad's military papers from during W ll? I know he received a disability monthly payment until he died. Penny in WA. State

My family migrated to Lorain CO back in the 50's from WV, so, you can see that I'm very surprised to find that I may have a connection to Lorain County after all. I've been tracing my THOMAS line back from WV to CO back to WV to MI to Defiance Co., OH and now Lorain County. I've found information about a Benjamin THOMAS married to Polly HOARD. They settled in Rochester Township in 1834 coming from Middlesex township, Yates County, New York. I believe Benjamin is my 4th Great-Grandfather. Some of their children are: children: Eunice -m-William CARVEY-lived in Rochester Jennie Lodiski-m-Shandy H. ROOT-Lorain co. Clarissa -m-Samuel CRAIG-Lorain co. Caroline-m-Walter S. PARMER-Lorain Co. Avangela-m-Aretas MARSH Dortha Lona-m-Henry GEHRRETT-Defiance Co. Lorin (or Alexander)-m-Kate (Catherine)STONER-Defiance Co. Dighton -m-Sybil NICHOLAS-Defiance Co. Martha-m-Orrin A. ROOT-Lorain Co.

Thanks for your response but I can't get back that far. I also think my Cooks may have come from Germany in the 1830's.

Hi, Well, I can tell you that I had these ideas given to me as to what the outfits might have been: Cheerleader uniform Tap Dancer uniform Basketball uniform Volleyball uniform ROTC Club - Naby Sea Cadets School Uniforms.... Other than that, I still do not know for sure what the clothes represented or for sure who was in the picture. Still researching... Thanks for bringing it up again. Jane (Spurlock) Hoholski

Just enjoyed a visit to the webpage of St. Joseph Church in Amherst. Dawn, a look-up volunteer for the Lorgen web page, forwarded the URL to our web master and now it has been posted as a user friendly link. If your LC church has a webpage, please forward the URL to the Lorgen web master. I am sure LC researchers would love it. They might get to see old photos and perhaps learn a bit of church history. -- Nancy M.

Hi List, It appears I made a mistake in my Schroeder Information. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------- Hi Sue, I'm wondering if in your Schroeder line there might be a George Schroeder who worked for the Thew Shovel Company in Lorain? My step-father worked there at the same time around 1927 and I do have a picture of Mrs. Schroeder with my mother taken at the Thew Shovel Plant in Lorain. I'm not researching Schroeders but thought if you are this might interest you. I also have a picture with Mrs. Schroeder, my mother and some other ladies including her daughter, Ruth taken at a house in Lorain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------- This is in error - The man who worked for Thew Shovel Company is George Shore and it was his daughter, Ruth, that married a Schroeder. Sorry about that. Tom Powell
