This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: ADAMS, SHERRY, TAYLOR, SMITH, STEELMAN, WRIGHT, PEACHEY, WALDRON, BIRNEY Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DYB.2ACE/1511 Message Board Post: Has anyone else noticed that there are so many Taylor families, from England, Australia, US, Ohio, just about everywhere, that were considered mute or deaf & dumb or hearing impaired? I have found four siblings from one Taylor family from NJ in the early 1800's. Over the years I have noticed many others, especially in England. It must be genetic! I would love to know if anyone else has noticed the same problem. On one of the boards I had even noted one woman who was calling these unfortunate people "daft" and making fun of them. If anyone had ever done a study on this problem, what a help it might be for researchers! Is there any of the Taylors on this board who have an ancestor who was considered mute or deaf & dumb? Please contact me. Sandy smt3@earthlink.net

Hello, I am anxious to find people who may be related or know of JOSIAH JACKSON WRIGHT, who was b. in VT. abt. 1826 & moved to Akron, probably as a young man. He married Margaret, last name unknown and their children were Mary who taught school; Carroll who was in the army according to a letter to his parents in July 1869; & Willie, a sickly child who died at age 12. Josiah was called Jack and was in the auctioneering business & also believed to be in the newspaper business. He was still alive in 1899. I will greatly appreciate any little bit of info anyone may have on this tough knot I've been unable to untangle! Thank you. Priscilla

High St., 1st Floor, Akron OH 44308-1306 (330) 379-2512 / (330) 643-2352 I've never ordered anything from them, but it's worth a try! Hope this helps you.

Hi David and list, You might try contacting the Akron-Summit County Public Library. Their address is 55 S. Main St., Akron, OH 44326. Their phone number is 330-643- 9000. They have 1903 -1935 city directories, along with a 1929 telephone book. I don't know if they'll do lookups for you, but it's worth a try. I've ordered obituaries from them in the past and their service is fantastic. I had two addresses in Akron for my grandmother from the 1930 and 1931 city directories. When I got to the National Archives to look at the census, it turned out she wasn't living at either address. While rewinding the second roll of microfilm, my mom just happened to pause and look down at a random page, and there was her mother in the census. That was a lucky find! Anyway, good luck.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DYB.2ACE/1507 Message Board Post: I am trying to get the name and information on the first husband to Margaret Marie Plucinski. I dont know her madien name, she was married to Anthony Plucinski of Coventry, Ohio. I would like to get her maiden name, and as much info on her first husband as possible. Catholic Church requires this information.

Yesterday in looking at this LDS film, there was a form on top of the famielienbuch register filled out for this Mack family. Noted on the form is "Traungsdatum 3.5.1849 Cleveland, Ohio". I copied this form, copied Johann's families register and grandparents register. In addition there are about 8 other Mack families on this film. I couldn't find Traungsdatum in my not so good dictionery, but it must mean when the family arrived in Cleveland as all of their 10-children are born 1850 and forward. I hope someone on these lists am sending this to wants this information! I was pretty excited about it and I am not even related to this family. Carole in Georgia, USA
