Hello all! I am new to this list and hope that someone could guide me to obtain some information on my gg grandparents, Thomas Hines/Hynes and Katharine Stephan/Stephen/Stevens. Thomas was born in Ireland around 1826, but I do not know when or where he arrived in America. I DO know that he and Katharine married on August 5, 1849 at St. Thomas Church in Zanesville, Ohio. It is alleged  that Katharine was born in 1832, possibly in Utica, New York. Her parents were Adam Stephan and Elizabeth Morgen both who immigrated from  Germany. I am interested in finding out any additional information on Thomas ( his parents, was he a citizen when he got married, when he arrived and possibly what part of Ireland he came from, etc )or  Katharine when they were in Ohio before they moved to Iowa,Missouri and then finally  Kansas. Birth records of children,, marriage records, naturalization records, newspaper entries, death notices or church records are of course likely sources but I am not familiar with this part of the country and ask for your assistance. Thank you in advance for your help! Pat
