Is there a reason why the following message has never been included in the Ohio Pickaway County list or digest? It was transmitted immediately after Digest # 8 and it appears that it was not part of the postings selected for transmission to members of this list. Must our postings concern particular ancestral lines, histories or individuals before they are selected for "publication" or is there some other criteria of which I'm not aware? MESSAGE: Does anyone have information on blacks in Pickaway County?  Specifically, I am searching for information about the WASHINGTON surname.  Rufus C WASHINGTON was born 29 Aug 1895 in Pickaway Cty.  I would like to locate the names of his parents -- his mother died in childbirth. Thank you for any replies.  Best wishes in your own genealogical endeavors. Regards, Deborah Kemp
