The obit for Mary does not indicate burial site nor was the staff able to locate where. I am looking for a relative who actually knows where her remains are. Thanks.

KENAN of Jackson twp in 1880 and resided in Gibsonburg. Both were widely known and involved in civic affairs. Mary suffered illness and was treated at the Methodist Protestant Home for the aged in W. Layfette for several years prior to her death. No decision had been made at the time of her funeral as to where she was to be buried. Does anyone know where her remains are? Cemetery? Location? She is my gg aunt and I would like to pay my respects to her. Thank you for your help.

Isaac was born in Bucks Co. PA in 1766 but moved elsewhere prior to Mary's birth. Siblings of Mary were Johannes (1779-1854), Anna Catherine (1781-1842), Abraham (1782-1866), and Elizabeth B. Mary married Joseph COOKSON and they and Abraham, possibly John, migrated to Perry Co., OH around Somerset. Mary and Joseph then moved to Fremont. I'd like to know where in PA that Mary was born, where married, where their first born, Isaac COOKSON was born etc. Any information on these YOSTs would be appreciated.

So, if your Thomas Jackson was born in 1851, he was too young for service. Actually, I have no Thomas Jackson's in my line. I am trying to locate descendants of the Third OVC as we have an association that is new and we want to get the word out to them. Thank you for you interest. I hope that you can find out more about your Thomas Jackson. Thank you. Janett

Surnames: JACKSON KENAN KEENAN MULL SMITH TRESSEL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WZB.2ACI/674 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on William JACKSON and Minerva KEENAN (KENAN) of Jackson Twp Sandusky Co OH. I believe William JACKSON is the son of Thomas JACKSON of Butler Co PA. I believe he was born about 1827 and left PA before 1850. He married Minerva KEENAN on 6 March 1851 and they had children: Thomas J. JACKSON (b. Nov 1851?; d. ?) and Charles L. JACKSON (b. Jun 1857?). I believe Thomas JACKSON married twice, once to Cordelia J. MULL (daughter of Amos MULL ?) and then to Theresa M. TRESSEL (TRESSELER?) They may have had three children, only one of whom survived to adulthood and may have been named Iris or Irize? Charles L. JACKSON appears to have married Ida M. SMITH and they had two children: Willis W. or Willis S. JACKSON and Olive M. JACKSON. Any insights, information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading this message and best wishes to you in your own research. ---- Laura Perry

I came across this information during my research for the Thomas JACKSON in my line: THOMAS JACKSON Age: 22 Status: ENLISTED Date: 9/10/1861 Place: SANDUSKY COUNTY, OHIO Company: D Regiment: 3 State of Regt: OHIO Term: 3YR Branch: CAVALRY Rank In: PRIVATE Rank Out: PRIVATE Disposition: DISCHARGED,DISABLED Date(s): 08/30/1862 Notes: In my line, I have a Thomas JACKSON son of William JACKSON and Minerva KEENAN (KENAN) of Sandusky Co OH who appears to have been born about 1851, and may have been to young to participate in the Civil War. He almost certainly wasn't this same Thomas JACKSON who was 22 at the time. Just thought I would pass this info along in case it could help you to order his military records or pension information. Best wishes, Laura PERRY

I guess that I did forget that I have a birth date for John Baum....He was born 11/09/1870, per family tradition. He was reported to have been born in Mifflinburg, PA. I went to Mifflinburg and the surrounding area several years ago, and could not locate any history. I am not sure of much about him or his family. This is about all that I have to go with. Thanks for taking the time, Jim Murphy

I swear it isn’t. In my research, I have figured out a way to request records from home that actually will get you somewhere! In my every day professional work I use the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) to acquire records from all areas. The FOIA is a tool that is available to all Americans. But you have to know where to send it, you have to have the right request form, a properly worded letter, you have to know what type of information they need to get you what you are looking for. You cannot just send in a generic "find this" request. But, using the proper request on the proper form with a properly worded legal letter you will get the documentation you are seeking if it exists. I received 84 pages in the first probate request and two weeks later received an additional 124 pages from the same request. All stuff they copied from microfiche. At ten cents per page. Some of these records ! went back to 1838. I will send you the form, the request letter, what you need to send them in terms of specifics, if you have them, or if not, where and how to find them. I have compiled a list of every State’s statutes that you will need to format the request form for your particular State. I have included some specific searching directions and examples that may help you. Obtaining information and documentation is what the Freedom of Information Act is for! But you have to know how and where to use it. What specific State statute to request it under. And the records have to exist. The FOIA is available for use in any state for any public record. It does not, not replace the researcher, but for those of us who have been unable to physically get to an out of town location or to contact or afford an active researcher it's great. As a result of my request I have my gggrandfather's entire household inventory, his entire office contents down to the list of ! law books and furniture he owned, the guardianship papers for all of my ggrand uncles and aunts, I have a (long) list of people that owed him money for mortgages he held, how much, when they were due, how much of an allowance the Estate had my gggrandmother on for the next 5 years! Again, this is just one tool. My email is genealogyprincess@hotmail.com. **Don’t use the email this posting was sent from. *** A couple people have refused to believe this is for real and tried to disconnect my emails. Over 1100 people (since November 2002!) strongly disagree with them! I will be glad to help anyone with any additional information or reformatting the forms for other states, other data requests, etc. and will send a request form for that or just email me your questions. No charge. I am requesting $7.00 fee for paper, postage and copying costs for this information package. I had no idea this would be responded to in such huge numbers (!!) and I can’! t afford that much copying. Check, cash, money order, whatever is easiest for you. So, send it to Genealogy Princess, 20757 Camden Square, #210, Lathrup Village, MI 48076. I will send you the information (it’s 26+ pages) the very day I receive the envelope. My Paypal information is genealogyprincess@hotmail.com (checking account). I will send the information to you the instant I receive your address in the notification. In the meantime, start searching for as many specifics as you can get. This is not "send me the death certificate of...." This is "I searched the probate database for (county) and found that my ggrandfather's estate is in your records. It is between the years XXXX and XXXX." Then there is more legal lingo, etc. etc.. Anyway, I am sorry this post is so long. Also, please advise anyone else you think may be interested in this information in other lists. Be assured that I am n-o-t making any database of addresses or anything, I promise! not to ever, ever sell or give your name and address to anyone. This is strictly to get you information that will help you gather documents and information to further your search for your ancestors. Very lastly, I have a larger bunch of information in my “FOIA IN GENEALOGY WORKS! on Ebay. Check that out! Thanks! Kathleen Lawler
