Many, many thanks to all who answered my post regarding Canton newspapers and MITCHELL information. What a great bunch of people on this list! Bless you all! Rebecca near Cincinnati

Hello again, Jennifer. Actually, these materials are also available at the library, and they will make copies & mail to you. You will need to pay the cost of the copies. Their service is wonderful (yay Neal!).

Can someone tell me whether the Stark County Courthouse will honor a request to copy wills and probate files, and if so, what the charges might be? Thanks for your help. Jennifer Reno, NV

Hi, everyone. I am new to the list. Can anyone please tell me what newspaper would have served Canton in the 1970s? I need to locate an obituary. Thank you. Rebecca near Cincinnati

N. also at various addresses in Columbus from1893 - 1897 It doesn't have a Baker from Lancaster. I've decided to buy a copy for myself. It has a very interesting section in the beginning of the book about early Ohio Photography and a section on biographies of selected Ohio Photographers. Unfortunately no biography for one of the Bakers. The book is actually a new book published in 1998. Good luck on your search! John Schlaff wrote: > Hello, John!

Hi Can anyone look up in the birht index for a bith notice for John Stanley Seese born July 9 1903 or 1904. His father's name was John Ellis Seese. Thanks Ed Parmenter eparment@mail.win.org

If you are having trouble getting a handle on when some old photographs were made and they are the ones that bare an ID of an Ohio professional photographer on the back, you might want to check out the book Ohio Photographers 1839-1900 by Dianne VanSkiver Gagel, or even buy a copy. It lists the dates and locations of professional photographers in Ohio and will give you a handle on the years that they would have been made. If you are like me, you have several with no names and nothing but the photographer and his place of business to identify them. Fun, isn't it? John

Neal, Thank you so much for making the index available on-line. I just found around 40 new entries I can now check out for several of my families. Is there a similiar index available (in any form) for the Vaterlandsfreund?

This is a test. I unsubscribed from the Stark List about a month (a few weeks) ago, so that I could resubscribe with a new e-mail address. I'm still getting mail at the old and my new bounces. Neal

Bob Strock, wherever you are (my e-mail to your posted address on the Stark Co. web site was returned to me) I found the following in an old Stark County newspaper: "In 1811 Matthew Roland emigrated from Yellow Creek, Jefferson Co., and settled upon the land later owned by John Kirk. From the ferry, opposite Massillon, he came with his team up the bed of the river. The tracks of the wagon, in many places, could be distinctly traced several years after." I wondered if this would help you identify this Matthew you mentioned in the Lawrence Twp. list on the Stark web site. Could you please tell me whether you have further information on the history of the canal system through Stark County?
