Debbie, > I am in dire need of some help! > > My grandfather, Olen George Rummell grew up in the Warren area. It has > been said that his parents are buried there on the old family farm. His > father's name was Guy Rummell or William Guy Rummell. His mother's name > was Ellen or Ella. My grandfather was born about 1910. Guy Rummell died > around 1958 or 1959. Ellen died after my grandfather died in 1974. > It looks like there may have been a couple Rummell families in Trumbull County, or perhaps the one in Southington was Peter's son, it will take some looking into on your part. For further information on obtaining a birth record for your grandfather, you may want to send a letter and a SASE to the Trumbull County Archives, information on what records they have available is on the Trumbull County OHGenWeb website (http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohtrumbu/) in the County Resources section. Your grandfather would not have been born when these Atlas' were printed, but it may help you to pinpoint "the old family farm."
