    1. Re: Newspaper Lookup - Dungan
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/GZB.2ACI/1008.6.1.1.1 Message Board Post: The death certificate shows Celia's middle name is Fay. I also found a mineral claim filed in Canada that shows Celia Fay so that's what I'm going with. However, there are some family trees posted online that list her as Celia Flora. I think the people using Flora have assumed that the Flora on the 1860 census and Celia F. on the 1870 census are one and the same person, but Flora Dungan died in 1861. Also on the 1870 census there is another child (looks like Norah) who is only 2. I wonder if she might be Celia's sister. By the 1880 census, Norah is gone and John W. appears as grandson. I also wonder who he might be. Thank you for the Jesse Dungan information and also the Civil War information -- every little tidbit makes these people come more alive. My whole quest into the Dungan's started because I have an old picture of a little girl and written on the back of it is "Park and Celia's little girl who died young." The main keeper of the Dew family tree did not know about the little girl, so this year we took a 2-day trip to Ohio to try to find out as much as we could. The photo was taken by a London, Ohio photographer so that's why we looked there and fortunately found her birth but not her death. We had just a few hours at the Ohio Historical Society library and looked for a newspaper announcement of their wedding to see if it would say where Park and Celia were planning to live so I would get an inkling of where to look for Vera's death. Unfortunately the wedding announcement did not have that info, but we found a small notice in 1891 that Mrs. Park Dew from Columbus was visiting with family. Then we just ran out of time and had to leave. There is a Family History Library in a nearby town and I've ordered the wi! ll records and also the guardianship records for that time period. I've also ordered the death records for Columbus. There's always hope that the next source of information with reveal that much needed little piece. Thanks again for your help. Jan
