Hi Everyone, My ancestors were early pioneers of Medina, Wayne, Stark, and Lorain Counties, so we are related to many folks from those and surrounding counties -- many of whose names I don't know, because maternal names are often lost in families. I am writing to ask if any of you know of a hereditary blood disorder in your family called Hereditary Sphereocytosis. My hematologist said that 50% of my relatives probably have this disorder because it is autosomal dominant. Sometimes this disease can be silent, as it had been in my family until my mother's cousin died of it (probably of a ruptured spleen) and her son and I were diagnosed with it and had spleenectomies. Sometimes Hereditary Sphererocytosis is so subtle, it can't be seen on a regular red-blood count smear. Apparently a regular RBC smear doesn't pick it up in our in our family, but a hematologist will know what to do to be sure. My hematologist said that he recently had a patient in his seventies who had no idea that he had this blood disorder until tests picked it up. Because even those who have the more serious form of the disease can have subtle symptoms, it can be dangerous if someone has it and doesn't know it. Hereditary Sphereocytosis is characterized by small, fragile, sphere-shaped red corpuscles and most people afflicted with it are of northwestern European descent. Sometimes anemia and jaundice are obvious with this disease, but sometimes, those symptoms are subtle, even in those who have the more serious form of the disease. This has been the case in our family. I would be grateful to hear from anyone who might have this disease in their families. One reason is that my hematologist has found some mysteries associated with my form of Hereditary Sphererocytosis that I would like to compare with others who may have some of the same difficulties. Another is this could be a great way to find cousins who have so far been lost because maternal names change and we lose track of family lines. This is a relatively rare disease, so it may be a good first step in finding cousins. My family was originally from Pennsylvania before they pioneered Ohio.

Hi Pierre: The History of Medina County by the Medina Historical Society 1945 shows: The Schools of Seville (includes Guilford Twp.) The first school house in Seville was built in 1821. The first summer school was taught by Miss Adeline Derthick, and the first winter term by Mr John Bell. Among the pupils were Jacob and James A. Bell, Josiah, William, and James Cwawford, Levi Nye, and Jacob and Amer MOORE, all of whom were respected residents of the vicinity. Could Jacob be your Jacob's father, and Amer his uncle?? The 1820 census shows for Guilford Twp. William MOORE 2 males under 10, 1 male of 16 and under 26, 1 male of 26 and under 45, 1 female under 10, 1 female of 10 and under 16, 1 female of 26 and under 45, and 2 foreigners not naturalized. The 2 males under 10 are more than likely Jacob and Amer MOORE. The 1870 census shows for Westfield Twp. Amer MOORE 56 Farmer OH Mary A. " 53 KH OH William " 28 Farmer OH Sarah A. " 25 KH OH Melford " 6 OH Clara " 5 OH Milla " 3 OH Hope some of this helps. Norm in Medina, ohio

And don't forget the title page of the Bible! By photocopying the title page with the information, (or jpg-ing) it gives the information legitamacy as to when it was created. Bible records by themselves are not primary sources. They could have been written by anyone years later. But by having the title page with the date of printing of the Bible, you can prove that either the dates recorded were primary (written at the time of the event), or secondary information (written later). This will have a bearing on how you weigh conflicting information. And everyone runs into dates from different sources that don't match! If you, your descendants, or anyone who will ever have access to your materials ever considers joining a lineage society, or first families society, they will be required to provide the Bible's title page along with the written information from the Bible... and by then, they may not know how to get it or where the original Bible is. Collecting the source information at the time you collect the data is much easier than trying to get it later.

Listers, I have been using the USGS location finder for a number of years but it gives very few international locations and when it does, the information is incomplete I would like to fine a similar site as USGS for international locations. Can anyone help me on this? I am sure there are many researchers who would like to know, but never asked.

Posted on: Medina Co. Oh Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Medina/419 Surname: HOYT, MORRIS ------------------------- I am looking for the parents of Anna Maria Hoyt, born 7 Jul 1823 in Medina OH. She married Joseph B. Morris 22 Dec 1842 in Medina. They lived in Medina Co, Findlay (Hancock Co OH), Benton Co Iowa and finally settled in Osborne Co KS. They had 10 children: Allen, Elmer, Wilbur, David, Anna, Rejina, Charles, Martha, Mary and Eva. There is a Nathan Hoyt on the 1820 census for Medina and I wonder if Nathan was her father. The parents of Joseph B. Morris are George Morris and Jedidah Newman who moved from Monmounth Co NJ to OH.
