Dear List Members, A while ago I posted a message to the board and gave the web address of our library. Since then several of you have contacted me asking why the address didn't work. It didn't work because I typed it in wrong. Here is the correct address, and I apologize for the mix-up. www.stark.lib.oh.us/gene.html If any of you still have trouble accessing the web site, please let me know. -- Lauren K.

Was looking on-line for family bibles that had been posted. Thought some of you may be interested in this: <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/oh/bible.htm">Click here: USGenWeb Archives: Ohio Family Bibles</A>

I don't have much to go on here. I'm looking for anyone named SLAYTON who lived in the Mansfield, Ohio area around 1920s, but may have been there since about 1860. One of the men who is a descendant is named John SLAYTON, and I believe he is living now. Sarah HANLY/HANELY GOGLEY/GOCKLEY, had a sister who married Mr. SLAYTON. I have some old family reunion photos from about 1924, and they include the GOCKLEY and UPLINGER connections. Thank you, Judy Uplinger Brannon

I'd like to thank all the nice people on this list for the response to my Orrville Library question and for letting me know that Orrville is in Wayne Co. Penny

Would like to contact anyone researching SEIGEL in Stark county. Hannah SEIGEL, widow of Peter, is buried in Alliance cemetery. In 1870 census she was living with what appears to be a daughter, Lovina and Thomas McALLISTER. Also in town was a probable son, Henry SEIGEL and wife Hannah. Thank you. Phyllis Rickard Adrian, MI prickard@dmci.net

Would like to contact anyone researching RICKARDs in Stark or Mahonning counties. Solomon & Elizabeth (SEIGEL) RICKARD lived in Mahonning county in the 1860 census. In the 1860s, after Solomon's death, Elizabeth lived in Alliance. They had 14 children. I have the names for 10 and know that one of the remaining 4 was a daughter. One son, William, moved to Wayne county where he married. They and some of the other children came to Michigan and were here in the 1870s. Don't know when Elizabeth arrived in MI, but she died here in 1900. Thank you. Phyllis Rickard Adrian, MI prickard@dmci.net

I am trying to locate an e-mail address or snail mail address for the Orrville Public Library. I think I am in the right county. Or does anyone have any information about a book there that I am told through my library is a non circulating item called ORRVILLE YESTERDAY AND TODAY. I have at least one ancestor,CHRISTIAN BAUHOF mentioned in the book and possibly pictures. If I cannot borrow the book I would be interested in purchasing a copy. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. I live in Wa. State so visiting the library myself is impossible at this time. Thanks in advance Penny Phanes1368@aol.com
