I have looked at this Spellman Rockefeller Line before. I don't know if I belong to them. That is my dilema. My Great Grandfather's Obituary says he was born; William Alonzo Spellman b. December 31, 1832 Wadsworth, Medina County Ohio. His parents were James & Eliza Spellman. I guess there were 3 Spellman Families, all in Wadsworth, Ohio in 1832, and they all copied each others childrens names. There were the English Spellmans, the German Spellman's, and the Irish Spellman's. Which strain is mine, I'm trying to find out. ??? Can you help me with this? Sincerely, and with MUCH Appreciation!
