Hi Janie I am related to Helen Kroeger and would appreciate a copy of the picture. Also, I knew some of these people as well. Mable might be Mable Shale, Elmer is Elmer Bulgrin. BTW, what is your father's name. My father was Otto Damerow and my mother is Margaret Kroeger Damerow.

Dear List-- I have located a picture of my father's confirmation class at Zion Lutheran Church. I think the date would be @1925. Amazingly, he remembers the following names: Elizabeth Sterner, Elizabeth Yeckel, Helen Kroeger, Emily Bishop, Ellen (?) Drew, Ruth Groncy, Helen Middlestedt (sp?), Mabel ?, Johnny Palmer, boy (Bill) Lang, Elmer Bogrin, and Johnny Weigand. He remembers that Johnny Weigand married Ruth Groncy. The two pastors pictured are Pastor Noak and Pastor Spiegel. I also have confirmation class pictures for my aunt and uncle, which would have been several years earlier. When I figure that out, I will post that also. If you are related to any of these dudes or dudettes, please let me know and I will send you a copy of the photo. Regards, Janie

Surnames: Eisentrout Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DYB.2ACE/1402 Message Board Post: I found Elmer EISENTROUT, born 1887 in the 1900 census living with his grandparents (my gr-gr) in Allegany County, Maryland. There were 2 unmarried daughters also living in the same household and I am unsure which would be his mother, Henrietta or Rebecca. I also found him again in the 1920 Summit County census in Stow Township, Precinct B. Elmer's wife was Virgie and they had 2 sons, Harry and Samuel. I found both sons in Summit County in the Ohio Death index. I did not find Elmer or Virgie. They probably died before 1965. Does anyone know anything about this family?

Hi Janie, Would your father remember some of the parent's names? I'm really interested in "Emily BISHOP". Thanks for sharing!

Hi, More spring cleaning items. My first cousin once removed name was Ruth GROTEY PORTER. I am not sure when she married Thomas M. PORTER. Thomas' nickname was "Pudgie". Thomas died 28 Aug. 1978 in Akron, Summit County, OH at the age of 77. I would love to chat with someone from this PORTER family. Obits on this partial page: Thomas M. PORTER Miss O'HARA (Partial) Anton SCHRAMM Stephen SMITH Arthur A. WAGNER Holton L. WATTERS Miles YOCUM Thanks for your time and help. Take care and be safe.

Good Evening, I have been doing some genealogy spring cleaning, and came upon something I cannot believe I even forgot I had! My father, Walter Charles LUCAS, Jr. died in 1989 from a long bout of stomach cancer. My Mother and I were going through all of their old photos/papers/memorabilia. In the papers there was an article cut from the Akron Beacon Journal dated November 11(?) 1961 (?) (these are very difficult to read). My Mom made a copy of the article, and it is really hard to read, actually, mostly unreadable. I can pick out that Jim AIKEN was born in 1900. The article is about Jim AIKEN, and ex-ZIP football coach 1936-1939. I asked Mom why this article was in Dad's papers, and she replied that "Your Father said he was an Uncle or a Cousin, I don't remember which, right now." Then she went on to say. "I remember the day he cut it out, he was crying". This sort of threw me for the proverbial loop. My Dad never finished high school, so, I know he did not go to college. I cannot find any name connections to tie this AIKEN to my LUCAS family. Does any one know of this AIKEN family? I would sure love to eblab with someone who may be able to give me a helping hand. Thanks so much, Joyce Lucas Dever, near Seattle skipdever@earthlink.net

Hello: Can anyone tell me if Northfield-Macedonia Cemetery would answer a request for information on a person if you did not know the exact year of death or place they had lived and died??? Have a "brickwall" that seems to be an everlasting thing. Thanks, Dolores M. Ault Michigan

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DYB.2ACE/1377.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Well I checked with Probate court here because one of my former attorneys (employee) works for the Judge in Probate and her secretary is WAY into genealogy. There is no record of a marriage license for that man in Summit Co. Probate has marriages 1840 to present. Her guess was that did not apply for the license in Summit County. You could check with surrounding counties, Stark, Wayne, Portage, Medina. But that doesn't mean that they got the license even nearby. You may want to contact someone at www.acorn.net/gen to see what you can do.

Hello IL from OH I looked up in the Akron and Summit County Book and there is a blurb about a Lincoln ELLSWORTH: Lincoln ELLSWORTH, a wealthy man from Hudson (Summit) OH financed a successful Arctic flight. He tried to reach the North Pole with Roald AMUNDSEN, polar explorer. There is more and if this ELLSWORTH is your relative I will send the rest of the info. By the way since your from IL I am interested in who the man was that the SELFRIDGE Air Force base was named after. In ca 1920 a military man named SELFRIDGE was with the Wright Brothers on one of their flights and was killed in the crash. I am during this info from memory but I cut it out of the magazine section of the Washington Post.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: HURLEY, STACKHOUSE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DYB.2ACE/1400 Message Board Post: Have found I'm related to Daniel HURLEY, son of James HURLEY, who lived in Akron in the above dates. Daniel also had sisters Mary, Catharine, Julia, and Elizabeth. Elizabeth married Wm. H. Stackhouse circa 1860 - we don't know where. Julia and Catharine never married, and lived with Daniel. Have no information regarding Mary. James and Catharine HURLEY both claimed to be from Ireland in census returns. Other than census returns, where could I look for information regarding the family? (I have Julia's death cert.) Are old maps available, so I could correlate census addresses with nearest churches, etc? Any suggestions very welcome! Thanks, Julie

Hi, If anyone has access to Summit County death or cemetery records, I would very much appreciate a look up for Robert Trotter. His wife seems to have remarried after he died. I have an old photo of Louisa (nee?), titled "Grandma Trotter Ellsworth" which includes no other information. Louisa must have married an Ellsworth after 1860, so I am also searching for a marriage record for her. Background: When I was in Ohio a couple of years ago, I found deeds for land Robert had purchased in Streetsboro, Portage County in 1839, and some (which seemed to be part of the same land) that he sold in 1851, but one deed said Streetsboro and one said Summit County. The 1850 census said he was in Streetsboro, Portage County, so that is the only county I researched. I later learned Summit County was formed around 1840, using part of Portage County, etc. But the 1850 Census threw me off, so I figured he was still in the Portage County part. However, he seemed to disappear after 1850. The other day, at Ancestry.com, I searched name by name through the Northfield, Summit Co, census (a lucky guess, based on its proximity to Streetsboro) and discovered Robert's wife, Louisa F., and their children, but no Robert. Robert must have died sometime between 1851 and 1860. I would be grateful for any information or clues anyone can provide me. Thanks! W.Warren from Illinois
