Website for Akron-Summit County Library genealogical desk: mherlevi@ascpl.lib.oh.us or for other info it's ascpl.lib.oh.us. Right now they are not charging anything. Don't know how far back - they pull obits from the Akron Beacon Journal files. You can also get research at a minimal cost at the Ohio Historical Society - research per name costs about $5.00. If you know date of death you can get death certificates for $1.00 each (or marriage certificates). ************************************************** QUILTERS ARE SCRAPPY PEOPLE 8-]]] ************************************************** My paternal family: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pointe/5096
