Do you know when they died? The Akron Beacon Journal Obits available online only go back to Jan 7, 1985. I am not sure if I am related to the Maurer family you mentioned. My married name is Maurer, so that comes from my ex-husbands family, but I have found that I also have some very distant Maurer relatives of my own. On my paternal grandfather's branch of the tree, I have Rosanna Maurer married to Isaac Barron/Barrone, Isaac apparently is my third cousin three times removed. I believe Rosanna's parents were Jacob & Elizabeth (Walker) Maurer. They were from Somerset County, Pennsylvania. I also have Emil J Maurer married to Nellie E Fertig. Emil's parents were Sigmund/Samuel & Wilhelmina (Rotbacker) Maurer. Nellie's sister Pauline Fertig was married to my paternal grandmother's brother Charles William Bates. This Maurer line lived in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. My late ex-husband's family lived in Cuyahoga Falls, before that his line lived for several generations in Ashland County, Ohio. I have many Maurers in my tree, but so far, I have not connected the three different Maurer lines together. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
