Dear Fellow Researchers, Many thanks to the people who have reply to my posting. I want to apologize for not being more specific in dates of when these three people were living. I'd like to add a time span for each individual, according to my father, which is basically a guess since I have no record of dates: Ronnie Johnston (b. aft. 1937 and d. bef. 1959 in Litchfield) Clara N. Johnston James (b. abt. 1896 d. aft. 1957) Jim James (abt the same age as Clara d. aft 1957) I know this is fague but it should be of some help and should appear in most cemetery books for the county and area.

Good evening List members! I need some help locating three graves in the Litchfield area. I live in Alabama and have never been to Medina County so it is very difficult to find resources for my research, so I have to rely on warm hearted fellow researchers to be my eyes for me up there. The graves I'm looking for are as follows: Ronnie Johnston (dates unknown but died real young) Clare Johnston James Jim James Ronnie was my Dad's brother who died as a kid and Clare was my Dad's Aunt. He can't remember when they died but he believes the cemetery is called Litchfield Cemetery. Could someone who might have a cemetery book look up these three graves for me and give me the dates for each? I would looove to have pictures of these tombstones, but I know that is asking to much. Thank you for all your time, Robert C. Johnston, Jr. 284 Redland Downs Trail Wetumpka, AL 36093 USA [email protected]
Below are six learning opportunities in the Pittsburgh, PA Metro area and Akron, OH. SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 2001, 10 a.m., WPGS meeting Western PA Genealogical Society monthly meetings are free and open to the public and held in the Lecture Hall of the Carnegie Library/Museum, 4400 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15213. "Messages From the Grave: Listening to Your Ancestor's Tombstone" will be presented by Elissa Scalise Powell, CGRS. In order to find an ancestors tombstone, the burial ground must first be found. Tips are given on how to find the different cemeteries depending on the time period, type (church or commercial), and economic condition of the deceased. Tombstones are the last monuments to our lives on this earth. In their shape and inscribed symbols, they can speak of the lifestyle of the deceased or the attitude of death of the loved ones left behind. They are being destroyed by many factors, which make them illegible or eradicate them altogether. Abandoned and lost cemeteries can be found through records and natural signs. Discussion includes ways to read illegible stones, which may be the last time a person may hear the tombstone speak. This colorful slide lecture illustrates these techniques and shows what problems are encountered in reading a variety of markers and what might be done to overcome them. Internet sources and resources are also discussed throughout the lecture. For any questions, you may call the society's answering machine at (412) 687-6811. _________________________________________________ TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 2001, 7 p.m. NORTH HILLS GENEALOGISTS For Lands Sake! What You Always Wanted to Know About Pennsylvanias Land Records will be presented by guest speaker Jean S. Morris at the 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, March 20, 2001, meeting of the North Hills Genealogists in the Northland Public Library, 300 Cumberland Road, McCandless Township, Pittsburgh, PA Ms. Morris will discuss land purchases from the Indians which opened settlement areas beginning with the formation of the Colony in 1681; the land application/warrant/ survey/patent system and how it works; the East and West Side Surveys; land certificates given to Pennsylvania's Revolutionary soldiers; a short overview of our Border Controversies with MD, CT & VA; land records/deeds at the county level after that first purchase; what records are held in the Recorder of Deeds offices at the court house; and many maps which illustrate those topics. Jean S. Morris, a professional genealogist since 1969; is editor of the WPGS Quarterly Magazine and a researcher for clients all over the country. The meeting is free and open to the public. _________________________________________________ SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 2001 SLIPPERY ROCK HERITAGE ASSOCIATION - 13th Annual Genealogical Workshop at Slippery Rock University Union Building, Slippery Rock, PA 16057 **** PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF SPEAKER AND TOPICS FOR THIS EVENT ******* 8:30AM - REGISTRATION (juice, cookies) 9:00 am Welcome - Helen Staiger, Workshop Chair Noon Buffet Lunch (pre-registration only), door prizes, vendor or library break 4:00 pm Close of workshop Speaker: Carrie W. Eldridge - local, regional, and national speaker as a result of her lively interest in history, geography , genealogy and people. Carrie is a product of Appalachia and for the last twenty-five years has authored forty books and maps dealing with local and regional history and geography. Carrie has taught school in both West Virginia and Ohio. She is a consultant for local history projects, former editor of West Virginia's MINING YOUR HISTORY FOUNDATION's newsletter Mountain News, and has received nationwide recognition for her various contributions of publishing county record abstracts, maps, gazetteers, migration atlases, census records, and Cabell County Cemeteries volumes. Program: WESTWARD INTO WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA - Rugged terrain and a powerful Indian confederation delayed major settlement into western Pennsylvania until about 1800. European settlers were more apt to take the easy route down to Virginia or to seek new lands alongside the Ohio River. Locate the major travel routes and discover who created these trails. MAPS GALORE - Maps are one of the most effective and necessary tools in a historian's bag of tricks. The same should be true of all genealogists. Locate, choose and use the different types of maps available to discover unknown relatives and clues to if they would soon seek other lands. We'll take the mystery out of map reading by showing how anyone can make and use maps. FRONTIER AGRICULTURE: Papa Turned A Left Hand Furrow - To be listed as a "farmer" on any 19th Century census was considered the most successful a man could become. To understand what a farmer was and what he meant to the community is to understand who your ancestors were and what they did on a day to day basis. Learn about his tools, his animals, his land, his abilities and his ambitions. What was a "Left Hand Furrow?" Why did the children like the pig's tail? Do you really know your ancestors? LOCATING EXTINCT TOWNS: Where to Look - Why you should - Many researchers know everything about their ancestor except where he lived because the location is not on current maps. What is an extinct town? When and why did it become extinct? Where could it be located? We'll discuss this and methods for locating and identifying lost communities using maps, court records and local histories. SOURCES THAT HIDE: Finding And Using Odd Records - Are you stuck? Then it's time to research little known and less often used sources. A multitude of information has been recorded, but it's not all in the Court House. Produce results by trying other avenues of research: Special Collections, Personal Records, Diaries, and little used Public Records such as Pay Rosters and Stray Records. ALSO AVAILABLE: Photographer to copy your old photos from 9am-noon (deposit required) LDS computer database search; SRU Library research; vendors Registration: $28.00 (includes buffet lunch - must be postmarked by March 22) POSTMARK AFTER MARCH 22, OR AT DOOR: $28.00 (lunch on your own - local restaurant map available) ________________________________ MONDAY, APRIL 16, 2001, 7:30 p.m. JEWISH GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY at the Jewish Community Center, 5738 Darlington Road, Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh, PA. Free and open to the public. "Walking Aroung the Neighborhood with the Census Taker: Why did he always miss my ancestor?" will be presented by Elissa Scalise Powell, CGRS. The Federal Census is a wonderful and basic tool for genealogists, after vital records, but finding the ancestor can be a challenge. This lecture shows what type of information is on each census and gives the tools for gaining access to the information. Techniques, aside from indices, will also be shown to help the researcher through some of the pitfalls of the records. Internet sources and resources will be discussed. The 1930 census (due for public release on 1 April 2002) will also be discussed. ________________________________ TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 2001, 7 p.m. NORTH HILLS GENEALOGISTS "Irish and Scotch (sic) - Irish Ancestors" will be presented by guest speaker Mr. Jim Sterrett at the 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 17, 2001, meeting of the North Hills Genealogists in the Northland Public Library, 300 Cumberland Road, McCandless Township, Pittsburgh, PA The meeting is free and open to the public.

Is there an 1880 census for Medina County? I found our ancestor, Levi Shreffler (SCHREFFLER in 1874 atlas) in the 1870 census for Medina County. That census is online on www.usgenweb.com In the 1870 census, I find Levi Shreffler, wife Barbara, and four children: Wesley, Rose, U.S. Grant, and "sis". Levi's father settled at Red Haw, Ohio is in present day Ashland County. I would appreciate any information for SCHREFFLER or SHREFFLER in Medina County after 1870. Levi Schreffler was living in Harrisville township. His occupation was "carpenter". Was there furniture manufacturing in Harrisville in 1870?

Posted on: Medina Co. Oh Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Medina/458 Surname: Shaw, Phinney, Fretter, Yoeman, Houghton ------------------------- I know very little about Arthur C. Kindig. His wife, Maude Shaw, parents were married in 1888 in Medina so I figure she was born around the 1889 to 1895ish time frame. I suspect Arthur was close to her age. Their daughter was born around 1921 having graduated from college in 1943. I know that they all lived in Ohio all their lives. I know it is a long shot but I appreciate, RTHyde, your response and time.
