Thanks to Nancy Meyers, I found a cousin who seems to be the mother lode of information on the genealogical research I'm doing on my mother's side, but just in case there is someone else out there, the names I'm researching in the Lorain County area are: SOBOCIENSKI, KOZOWSKI (have seen multiple spellings), SAPLE/SAPOLSKI (same family just changed names back and forth it seems, one or two moved to Michigan), THIELMAN (most of the Thielmans, however, hail from Cleveland area. Thanks for the opportunity to re-post. Good luck to everyone in their research. Anybody need help in the Boston area, I can try to see what I can do for you. Take care, Jan Bergeron janb@ma.ultranet.com Jan Bergeron janb@ma.ultranet.com
