I am looking for help locating information on the Gehres Family in Marshallville Area . They attended St Michael Lutheran Church Are there any Cemeteries in the area that could be searched Derek Dingledine

I know there are marriage record books for Wayne Co., and indexes for those, but are there any applications also available for the earlier years of 1800? Recently I have been told that many Ohio counties have these records kept separately from the marriage records. When I wrote to Wayne Co. they sent me a copy of my ancestor's marriage record, but would there be a separate record of them applying? My ancestress was well under age to I was wondering if her parents would have signed the application to give their consent.

Hi list members, I've been searching for ancestor, PHILIP SHADLER (b. circa 1820 in Germany), and learned through Ancestry.com that he is listed in the 1840 Federal Census for Wayne County, Ohio, Wooster Township, pg. 206.

If I read your questions correctly: It sounds like you are interested in joining First Families of Ohio, since you mention the 2003 conference in Columbus. That is the Ohio Genealogical Society (OGS) Annual Conference. If that is the First Families you wish to join, then you need to get a First Families Application from them and submit it to them. Joining First Families of any of the Chapters of OGS will not affect your application for First Families of Ohio. Often Chapter First Families requirements are not the same as First Families of Ohio (OGS) requirements. In other words, you may be able to join a Chapter First Families but still not be eligible for First Families of Ohio. As far a proof goes for First Families of Ohio: Proof of residency: 1. proof of ownership of land is not considered proof of residence. However, census and poll records would. Proof of relationship: 1. if the relationship is stated in the petition record, it would be considered proof 2. census records as proof depends on the census year for example an 1850 census showing the two people in the same household would not be proof because the 1850 census did not state the relationships between the individuals listed in the same household, however an 1880 census record, which states relationships, would be considered proof If I understand you correctly, you would be eligible for First Families of Ohio based upon your ancestor being listed in the Wayne County, Ohio, 1820 census, assuming that you can also prove descent from that individual. You need to be able to prove both residency and relationship. You will need to submit your First Families of Ohio application to OGS by 31 December 2002 to receive your First Families of Ohio award at the 2003 conference. And of course, if you meet the local chapter requirements for the various chapters you mention, you can still apply to the ones which have their own First Families programs, but these are not the same as the OGS First Families. The OGS website will provide the necessary contact information for OGS. Their web site is www.ogs.org I hope this information helps answer your questions. I wish you success with your application(s)!

We will go to the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall to hear Diane speak about Military records from 10 a.m. until noon. You are then invited to use the library with its military histories, GAR post records, diaries, and other records from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. The lecture and library usage are free for the day, however if you would like to tour the museum an admission fee of $4 ($3 for seniors and veterans) will be charged. Parking is available in a garage under the Hall. Diane Ragan, CGRS Certified Genealogical Records Specialist Diane Ragan is one of nine certified associates in Pennsylvania, having received her CGRS designation from the Board for Certification of Genealogists in Washington, DC in 1999. She has been working on her own genealogy since 1980, and professionally for clients for the past 5 years. Diane serves as Education Chair for the Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Society, and is the military research specialist at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall and Museum in Oakland, PA. She is an author, lecturer, and teacher, and specializes in military records. Her interest in genealogy began when she discovered an old photograph of a Confederate Civil War soldier amongst her mother’s pictures. Her mother was born in Virginia—her father in Pennsylvania, and she wondered if she could have had ancestors who actually fought against each other! Thus began her passion for Civil War history. She jokes that while most young mothers were perusing Better Homes and Gardens, she subscribed to Civil War Times Illustrated. She has found the answer as to whether her ancestors fought each other—Yes—at Gettysburg. Prior to her work as a professional genealogist, Diane was the co-founder and Vice President of Administration for a local environmental consulting company. She is the mother of two children, a married daughter, and a son attending graduate school in Idaho. She resides in Washington County, PA with her husband and two cats. ************************************************************************* ************************* Tuesday January 15, 2002, 7 PM, North Hills Genealogists at the Northland Public Library, 300 Cumberland Road, Pittsburgh pa 15237-5455 “Genealogy Forward: Your Past, Your Present, Their Future.” Passing on the story of you and your family to your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren by Jay Speyerer.

If your counties have a First Families Soc. I would appreciate an application for it for your county as my Phillip Kripliver/Cripliver owned land in your county. In Harrison in 1816, In Wayne County in 1820, in Lucas in 1833 or thereafter. I would like to have this all done so I can say I be a first family for Harrison, Wayne, Wood, and Lucas for the 2003 Conference in Columbus. All I have to prove now that Phillip had son John Henry and I have that in a document called a Petition to sell land in Lucas county, if that can be considered a document of proof along with a census of Lucas County, Ohio showing John Henry was Phillips son.

For Wayne County, I have a plat map showing where Phillip owned land and also 1820 census that he was there.

I'm trying to find out anything about Charles & Jacob Lehr. He was a deputy auditor for the town of Bremen, In in 1886. Charles was born 25 Sep 1831 in Stark,Co Ohio. Charles was with Co K, 29th Reg, IN Infantry and discharge 6 nov 1864. Battle of Shiloh, served with Cumberland. Charles married Ellen Carnahan. Charles father was Jacob S. Lehr. Also looking for anything on Grandparents Samuel & Malinda Guiselmann Lehr. I believe the family came from Schuylkill, Pine Grove, PA in early 1800's. Jacob Lehr also had another son Isaac lehr who was born 22 Nov 1855 in this area. Trying to find actual birth place, could have been Stark Co, OH. He married Mary Jane Winkler Lehr 14 Nov 1850 in Wayne, Twp, Ohio. Charles was a member of the Masonic lodge in Bremen, IN. I believe Charles is buried in the Bremen Cemetery and would like a copy of the obit. Date of death 15 Jan 1890 in Bremen, IN. I understand that Charles & Jacob moved quite a bit between Onasburg Twp, Canton Twp, OH and Bremen, IN. I understand they own 80 acres of land and they purchased 100 more acres in the area of Canton. Are land records available for this? I understand there is a Charles and possibly a Charles H. Lehr. One may be a junior or it may be the same person. Is there anyway that I can confirm the date of his birth? Are there any church records available? Any help would be deeply appreciated on Jacob and any of his family members. Open to all suggestions and recommendations. At a brick wall in VA. Happy new Year! Sandy.
