The information I received was wide........really wide. I got started and one tip lead me to a site where I clicked around and found more. The main place where I've started is with: www.usgenweb.com That took me to a clickable map of OH. I searched the Ohio page and found more things before I clicked onto Stark County. Here is the beginning: http://vitalrec.com/oh.html one of the places you can get info about Stark county is from the genealogy division of the Canton Library. They will do a search for you and if they find something, make a copy, and send it to you. I think copies are 25 cents for regular size (don't know how much for larger size) and postage to send it to you. Their web site is---- www.stark.lib.oh.us/gene.html http://dbs.ohiohistory.org/dindex/search.cfm Oops, as I want copying these down to place in this message I really wanted to write something of a description so you all would know what I found when I got there. Well, it's late, I've been up since 3:30 this morning and did good doing this much. The page with the Vital records on it gives the hours for the Historical Society in Columbus, OH. It has a lot of information for getting information on it. It would do good to print out this message before you accidentally hit the delete key so you can refer back to it. Plus, I found a person in Stark County who was kind enough to do some looking up in the Stark County Phone book for real phone numbers with real people able/willing to guide me onward. So if there is a phone number you need looking up, please ask and someone will be an angel, I'm sure. I hope this answers the questions of what responses I received. And Thanks again. Please let me know if these sites were of value to you, but post it to the list so others can gain an advantage of wonderful people.
