Hi, Are you related to Roswell Boice from Amherst, and then Rochester Twp? I do have information on this family.

Thank you Nancy, I did find Roswell Boies--he changed his name to Boice and is related distantly.

I agree with you. Most of my research is in PA, OH and GA. We belong to groups in PA and GA, live in south, south Florida and would like to join a local genealogical society, but haven't heard of one. Can't believe Floridians are that transitory! We do have a good genealogy section in the Miami Public Library, however. I do appreciate our Rootsweb and have found a "cousin" through it. Doris Bridges, Homestead, FL

Nancy and Carol are correct. Join and support the local society in the area where you ancestors lived. Then take one more step. Join a local group where you LIVE, even if it is not where your ancestors lived. It is hard to attend meetings when they are hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away. But you CAN attend ones where you live. I have yet to run across a local group which specified that your ancestors had to live in their area in order for you to join. The main purpose of local genealogical societies is education. A local group may not have members who are searching your surname, but they will have members who have had the same problems with locating information as you have. They can help! Give a local society where you live a try. Donna ****************************** Donna J.

Lowell (Son of Lowell & Phoebe FARR) & Sarah Jane (SQUIRE) FARR had a son named George A. FARR born about 1878 in Ohio who married a Dorthy M. ? Kimball F. FARR (Son of Able & Polly FARR) & wife Minnie (FREE) had a son George Kimball FARR who married Minnie Veldora FLICK. They also had a son Frank Farr. These two are probably born before the time range you are looking for. Maybe this clue will help you. I have no other info at this time.

Nancy, At your suggestion, I checked out your web site at http://www.centurytel.net/lorgen and I agree, it is a really great site. I'm sure I will be returning to it often. Thanks once again. Jerry, Albuquerque, NM

Anyone with a Frank or George FARR born about 1870, mailto:nmmeyers@centurytel.net -- Nancy

Here is the Lorain County line I'm researching: Magdalena S. Schroeder (b.January 23, 1900 Amherst, Ohio)daughter of Martin Malthaus Schroeder and Anna Sheele both of Amherst. Anna Sheele is daughter of Frederick Sheele b.1836 in Kingdom, Germany and Catherine Schmauch b. 1836. Magdalena Schroeder married to Paul Marion Rudy. I've got information on the Rudy side but need the Schroeder side. Sue Johnson

Shirley Hunt, Have you contacted Marilyn Tyler or Bob Essig on your DELLEFIELD line? Pam Rihel on your HENES line? Karis at the LCHS on some STARR info? Maybe they have some info to exhange. You have been on this list a long time, sure hope something turns up. -- Nancy M.

Believe these spellings were all used in this county. Roswell Boice is on page 179, Rochester Twp in 1860 census. He is on page 576 A in the 1880 census, same twp. In the past there have been a couple of BOISE/BOICE researchers that were active on this list. If you do not hear from them, they may be currently unsubscribed but you can find still locate them if you check back on http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index Of course the name of this list is ohlorain but you can enter the name of any list that you are subscribed to.

I am looking for information on the following names in Lorain County: BOICE OSTRANDER HAWKINS I have also noted that several others have been looking for Hayes. I have Hayes from Ontario County in New York. Don't know if they are the same or related in any way but would be willing to discuss it with others to see if there is a link. Any help on the above named families would be appreciated. Guy

Shirley, Would your Boise be the same as the "Boice" family that I am looking for information on. In particular I am looking for information on the Roswell B. Boice family of Rochester Township. Guy G. Hawkins MGHawk65@aol.com

Dear Jerry Hobart, Since this is your first roll call, thought I'd give you some misc. info. Have fun sorting all this out. Think you need to be checking the 1880, 1900, 1910 & 1920 census. The 1880 census index: George W. Brucker on page 300D in Amherst Twp. Louisa Brucker on page 306C in Amherst Twp. The 1896 freeholder lists has: J.T. Brucker of North Amherst L.

Per the AMHERST STORY, 1914 by Armstrong, there was a Chris Brucker was elected to serve on the Amherst Council in 1905, and having been re-elected, he was still serving in 1913. Amherst Alumni list: Lucille Brucker, graduated in class of 1912 and later became Mrs. Harvey Eschruth & moved to Lorain. Ruth Brucker, class of 1918 and later became Mrs. R. Jewett & lived in Amherst. Dora Brucker, class of 1902, later became Mrs. Harold King & moved to Cleveland. Elmwood Cem. Lorain OH Wm. H. Brucker born Brownhelm Twp died at age 71, buried on Nov. 17, 1942 His wife Edith M. Brucker died at age 91, buried on Dec. 21, 1976. Last but certainly not least is this 1919/1920 Amherst directory: Albert Brucker, bkkpr, r 138 W.
