In my g-grandfathers CW pension file there is an affidavit from two of his children that states that the children officially changed the name from Sarlouis to Sirlouis and that the change was recorded at the Bureau of Vital Statistics in Akron. Does anyone know where I might find this name change recorded officially? Would a visit to the courthouse or other building be useful, or is there someone/where I could write to. This change took place between 1902 and 1918. Thanks in advance for any help. Cheryl
