Looking for info on the wells family of Monroe County Ohio. My great-grandfather Eli William wells was born there in Dec 1854-1864. Trying to find his family roots. Interested in hearing from any Wells family members. Great-grandpa dropped the name Eli, and went by William Wells. He settled in Cabell/Wayne area in WV. Do not know his parents, or siblings. I know there are many Wells in the area. Probably related to most of you. Pamela Wells Olson

My great great grandmother, Deborah Boyd, was born to Samuel Boyd and Elizabeth McGrew. Samuel was born in 1802. His father's name was Henry Boyd. I don't have any siblings listed for Samuel, but have not devoted alot of time to research on this line yet. The Boyds were devout Presbyterians, Samuel's first son was named William who became a Presbyterian minister. There may be some connection. Do you know where your William was born?

OK, it's late--lots of good info, but forgot to include the URL: http://www.familytreemaker.com/00000229.html I get so annoyed with people like me!

This was posted on another list today and I thought it was such a great site (and new to me) I'm posting it for most of my mailing lists. So much of the time I go back and forth from county site to county site for these addresses. This site gives you access to every state's courthouse addresses. Just click on any state and up pop all of the addresses in alpha order, with telephone numbers and some of the statewide offices as well (for VRs, etc.). Click on the "All about county and town resources" and you'll find lots of helpful hints, too. Regards and my apologies if you receive this more than once.

They were living in Lewisville, Monroe Co. for the 1860 Census. A William and Adam were also living with them. I believe this same William is buried in St. Peter's Cemetery in Lewisville. Don't know what happened to Leonhard and Magdalena or Adam.

This Philip Kirsch is probably not the one you are looking for. His spouse is named Lucetta and they have been married to her for 11 years. There's not a Martin or Mary in the household either.

A couple of days ago my aunt gave me a box of photographs that are of our family. She only knew the names of a few of the people. All seem to be related to my GGrandfather Jacob BOTT and wife Christina STEIDINGER. They are mostly from the 1800's with many tintypes. Plus there are many bibles in German with inscriptions with dates like 1847 and 1885. Jacob and Christina lived in Woodsfield and many of the photos shot the photographer as being from either Woodsfield or Bellaire. Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to find out who the people are in the photos. I plan on putting them up on a website soon. What do you think? Randall Bott
