Carol, Who were your ancestors? When you reply, put the surname in the subject area. My great great grandfather, Conrad Mack lived in Rootstown. He came from Baden Germany and fought in the Civil War. Here is a link for the history of Rootstown: <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohportag/hist015.htm">http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohportag/hist015.htm</A> Carol in FL.

Hi Carol, Mine were Winkler, Riedinger, and Rose (or Rohse, Rosen, etc.) from Germany. They were born in Hesse-Darmstadt, but they may have moved around some before coming to the states.
