This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Baum/Gilmore/Deal/Geeseman Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WZB.2ACI/670 Message Board Post: I have been working in these names for quite some time, and still can not find where My Great Grandfather John A Baum is from and Why he came to Ohio with another family. Our family never talked about it, and it seems that all links back to PA are lost. All that I know is that he came to Perry Co as a small child, and then moved to Sandusky Co, Washington Twp. He made the move with a family of Boyers or Moyers that might have ended up somewhere near Bellevue. If any of this sounds like something from your family, or something you have knowledge of, PLEASE HELP! Thanks, Jim Murphy of Ohio
