To Joan Bivens, Looking for MERCKLE? Spelling may show up as MIRACLE. That is what I found out anyway. I found a Lawrence EDDY m. to Jemima MIRACLE/MERCKLE/MERICAL in Monroe Co., OH sometime in the 1860's. I guess it depended on how the census taker decided to write it. Hope this might help. There are MIRACLE descendents who helped me piece my connection together. If you have birth, death or marriage date for Mabel HALL and John MERCKLE please include. There were lots of John, Jesse and Jemima's in that lineage. You can write me if you like. Deb 0-(: ) oglesby6@juno.com On Sat, 18 Dec 1999 10:23:47 -0800 (PST) OHMONROE-D-request@rootsweb.com writes:
