    1. [OHWAYNE] Ruth SMITH...Wooster...
    2. Lucinda C. Durbin
    3. Hello, I'm a new member and am specifically interested in finding ANY information I can about a woman by the name of Ruth SMITH (CROW) who was born in Wooster, OH, 21 September 1804. She was my great-great-step-grandmother. She died 22 July 1881 in Washington County, PA, and is buried in Howe Cemetery in a plot where there are a number of other SMITH names. She would have married William CROW sometime after 1934 when his wife Jane JOHNSON CROW died on 19 February. According to a note under a picture in one of the old family albums, this Ruth SMITH was "Lucinda CROW CHALFANT's step-mother and aunt." This is a rather bewildering comment...it may mean that her maiden name was something other than SMITH and that she was a widow. Ruth is my main stone wall! Any help will be gratefully accepted! Thanks in advance, Cindy Lucinda Cunningham Durbin <http://www.paperdolls.org>

    1. [OHWAYNE] KENNEDY, MANNING, CURTIS, GAFFNEY
    2. Rich Kurlich
    3. Hi Everyone, I'm new to the mailing list. I'm researching the family of John Kennedy (1816-1890) and his wife Mary Gaffney (1820-1896) of Burton City, Wayne Co., OH. They are buried in Canal Fulton, Stark Co., OH, at Ss Philip & James Catholic Church. Their Children were 1. Lawrence (m. Lucy Zaugg and lived in Wayne Co.,); 2. Elizabeth "Lizzie" (m. Henry Wagner and lived in Canal Fulton); 3. Teresa (m. Jerry Manning and lived in Orville); and 4. Ellen (m. Stephen Curtis and lived in Columbus). 1. Does anyone have access to Stark or Wayne Co. marriage records to see if Teresa's and Ellen's marriages are recorded. Teresa m. Jerry Manning ca. 1885-1891. Ellen m. Stephen Curtis ca. 1881. 2. Does anyone have the Stark or Wayne Co cemetery books to see if the following are buried, possibly in Canal Fulton and/or Orville area: Teresa Manning (born ca. 1860 & died after 1920 census). Ellen Curtis (born ca. 1863 & died between 1900 & 1910 census poss. in Columbus, Franklin Co., OH). Thank you very much. richkurlich@hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

    1. [OHWAYNE] Wayne Presbyterian Church & Cemetery (Winkler/Lehr)
    2. I'm looking for information on the Jacob & Ester Lehr family that lived in PA around 1830's. Their son Isaac Lehr was christened 9 Jun 1833 at St. John's Church, Friendensburg, Schuylkill PA. Isaac Lehr married Mary Jane Winkler 14 Nov 1850 in Wayne, OH. I know that Mary Jane's father was James Winkler born 1803 or 1804 in Burke, NC. James had 2 wives Ester Wade Winkler married 6 Apr 1826 in Wayne, OH. Then Lucinda Boydston 14 nov 1833 in Medina, OH. I believe that Mary Janes mother is Ester Wade. I believe that Mary Jane Winkler was born Mar 1829. Mary Jane Winkler was living with her grandmother Fanny Winkler in the 1850 Wayne OH census. Fany is buried in Wayne Presybetian Cemetery. Can anyone tell me if there are records at that cemetery or a church near by? Isaac Lehr died 15 Dec 1865 and is buried at Searle Ridge Cemetery in Bureau, IL (no records available according to the genealogical society there). He also had a daughter Elnora, Elvira or Elmira Lehr in the 1860 census, and is there in the 1870 census as Alice Lehr (very confusing). No more info on her. I have more info on the other children. I would like to know more info on Isaac's parents and siblings. Trying to trace back to when the Lehr's came to the US. At a brick wall, Sandy. Open to suggestions. I can't seem to get any birth certificates or documentation for Mary Jane or Isaac. Ohio didn't start recording until 1867 or something like that. Mary Jane & Isaac Lehr had a son Marvin Allen Lehr born 22 Nov 1855, but I can't locate where. Some census say, PA, Il or OH. I've written to Peoria, Il and Bureau, Il where his brother Frank Lehr born in 1860 had a delayed certificate in bureau, even though his death certificate stateed he was born in Peoria, IL. Not sure when family moved to Bureau, Il. Somewhere in 1850's. Marvin's sister Mary A. Lehr (Adeline "Addie", "Adda") was born in Nov 1852 in Ohio. Would like more info on her birth. I've checked for Marvin's birth in Ohio (Wayne), but couldn't find anything there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Sandy

    1. [OHWAYNE] LEHR & WINKLER Families
    2. I'm also looking for information on Mary Jane Winkler who married Isaac Lehr 14 Nov 1850 in Wayne, OH. Can you help me find any info on both familes? I'm open to suggestions. I know that Isaac's parents were Jacob & Ester Lehr and they came from PA. Isaac Lehr was christened there 9 Jun 1933 in St John's Church, Friedensburg, Schuylkill, PA. I'm trying to find out more about the family. I'm open to all suggestions and help. I got a ledger line of Mary Jane & Isaac's marriage , but it did not give me any names of parents or any thing. It was signed by Benjamin Pope. Is ther any way I can find out what church he may have been affiliated with? I don't have any more info on the Isaac's family. Any leads or help would be deeply appreciated. I know that Mary Jane Winkler was born to James Winkler, son of Lawrence & Fanny Winkler of Wayne, OH. James had 2 wives Ester Wade married 6 Apr 1826 in Wayne, OH. Also Lucinda Boydston married 14 Nov 1833 in Medina, OH. I don't know when Mary Jane was born, but I have reason to believe from the census that it was Mar 1829. I wrote to Wayne County Courthouse and they tell me they don't have births back that far. Any other places I can check? I don't know what religion they were, but Mary Jane Winkler was living with her Fanny Winkler in the 1850 Ohio census. Fanny Winkler is buried in Wayne Presbyterian Cemetery. Can you tell me how I can locate records there? Is there a cemetery office or church in the area? Thanks for any help you may be able to provided. At a brick wall Sandy in VA.

    1. [OHWAYNE] LEHR, WINKLER, RAWSON, SMITH, DRUM
    2. Issac LEHR married Mary Jane WINKLER 14 Nov 1850 in Wayne, OH. 1. Daughter Mary A. "Adeline "Addie" LEHR born around 1853 in OH 2. Son Marvin Allen LEHR born 22 Nov 1855 (can't find if Oh, Il or Pa - different census say different states) . The last lead I got was Peoria, Il that I need to check out. At a brick wall. 3. Daughter Elmira or Elvira LEHR born around 1861 probably in DePue, IL (still working on that). It is in the 1860 census for Bureau, DePue, IL. 4. Son Frank Edwin LEHR born 4 May 1860 DePue, Bureau, IL. Isacc LEHR died 15 Dec 1865 in Bureau, DePue, Il and is buried at Searle's Ridge cemetery. I can't get any info on death. No certificate or can I find any obit or records. The Bureau Geneological Society gave me the info form book they have on Searle Ridge Cemetery that list his name. Addie married DM SMITH and they are in the 1880 census for Schaller, IA with a son Harry B. SMITH. Frank is there with them. Frank Edwin LEHR married Laura RAWSON on 24 Dec 1880 in Bureau, IL . I have copy of Frank's delayed birth certificate & his and Laura's marriage license. Frank died 2/17/1943 in San Francisco, CA and Laura RAWSON LEHR died 5/27/1945 in San Francisco, CA. I just got copy of death certificate and he is buried at Olivet Memorial Park in Colma, CA. In process of writing them to get records and see if Laura is there also. The marriage lincense listed Merinda & Brent RAWSON as parents. I also have them in the 1880 cencus for Bureau, IL They had 2 children that I'm aware of and I can't find info on any of them. 1. Grace LEHR born 1881 in Schaller, IA (she became DRUM, but can't find any more on that). 2. Imogene LEHR born 14 Mar 1884 in Schaller, IA. Grace was living in San Francisco with them in the late 1930's to 1958 and then I guess she died or moved. She managed apartment houses. I will be asking if she is at the same cemetery. According to the 1889 city directory Frank was a Marshall. On his death certificate it states he was an accountant. My grandmother was a cousin to Frank Lehr. Hazel Alice LEHR, REESE, CALVOS, HOLM, NATHAN was the daughter of marvin Allen Lehr (Frank's brother). Hazel also lived in San Francisco when they came to CA in late 1930's I think. Then she moved to Vallejo, CA with my dad. Hazel had a son named Jack V. REESE and I'm his daughter. The family never talked about the family and now I'm interested in knowing all I can about my ancestors. I started searching this in 1986 when my daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. I've really gotten into it since last Christmas when I got a comptuer than had internet capability. Do you have any info on the above mentioned people? Would you be willing to share? Do you know if Laura is buried in Kansa in the family plot? Would any of her children be there? I'm interested in anything about the RAWSON , LEHR, SMIYH, DRUM and their relatives. I'm especially interested in what they did in Bureau, Il and in Schaller, IA. The LEHR's moved to Omaha, NE inearly 1900's. I have them in Boone, Ne in 1900. Then when Marvin died in 1927 in Omaha,NE I think the family moved on west and split up. One daughter went to Louisville, KY and 1 daughter to Jesup, GA. One son went to Seattle, WA, but was buried near the father and brother in Omaha, NE. I still can't find anything on the mother Mary Jane Lehr. She was last in 1900 Schaller, IA census and know one can find a death for her in Schaller, IA. I think she must have stayed with the daughter Addie SMITH, but I don't know where they went. Also would like any LEHR info as there is only one living LEHR member who is 87 and she has lost her long term memory. At a brick wall , Sandy in VA Thanks

    2. Colleen Pustola
    3. Hi again everyone, SUCCESS! :) The URL for the publisher of the above mentioned book is <http://www.clossonpress.com>. I've received quite a few messages from people wanting to know if Ms. Teibel has done other surname-letters other than the 'H'-names. As far as I know, only the 'H' names have been done. I can add though, that she is working on the 'M' names now and is scheduled to do the 'S' names next. I believe she wants to do the entire alphabet of surnames. Colleen

    1. [OHWAYNE] Medina Co. [Ohio] Pioneers, Surname H
    2. Colleen Pustola
    3. Hi everyone, This is an "I-thought-you'd-like-to-know" message. :) I just found out about a new book, "Medina Co. [Ohio] Pioneers, Surname H," that's supposed to be published by Clossen Press sometime in the next 6 months, hopefully January. (An exact publishing date can't be given because of the 11 September attack causing the publisher to get backed up.) It was compiled by Beverly Teibel and will cost about $24.00 plus $4 shipping and handling. Clossen is taking advance orders now. A friend sent me a copy of the index and one of the pages from the book. If you're looking for someone from Medina County, Ohio and the surname begins with the letter 'H', then this is one you're probably going to want to get. [And just for the record ... no, I have absolutely nothing to do with this book, its compilation or publication, nor Clossen Press.] Following are a few chapter headings listed in the index [keep in mind they're all for Medina County, OH and surnamed 'H': Newspaper articles 1850-1906 Inscription from Westfield Cemetery Common Pleas Court records Obituaries Marriages Cemeteries Real estate transfers Pre-1850 marriages Chatham Township vital records [birth, death, church] If you think you might be interested, here's how to contact Clossen Press: Clossen Press R.D. 2, Box 373-A Apollo, PA 15613 I don't have their phone number, but someone else here might. If you have questions about the book past what I've already related, I'm afraid I can't help you. Like I said earlier, I have nothing to do with the book other than the fact that I found out about it and thought you'd all like to know as well. I wish you all a weekend filled with inner peace and contentment. Colleen

FREE LECTURE Oct. 20: Passenger Lists. FREE TO Historical Society members; admission fee for others Nov. 3: Seminar including Census Records, Research Methodology, and Cemetery Research Nov. 10: What the Historical Society of Western PA Library and the Archives Service Center of the University of Pittsburgh have for genealogists. FREE LECTURE Please note: Lecture Handouts cannot be mailed to those who cannot attend. However the WPGS does abstract the programs they have permission for and prints them in their monthly newsletter. ================================================================== Wednesday, Oct. 10, 7 p.m. at the Carnegie Library Lecture Hall, 4400 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15213. Free and open to the public. http://www.clpgh.org/clp/Pennsylvania/wpgs.html or http://www.wpgs.org Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Society will feature a presentation by Marie Varrelman Melchiori, CGRS, CGL of Washington, DC on "Using Records in the National Archives: A Researcher’s View." This very special Wednesday night program will cover National Archives records that are most often used by genealogists. Many of these records are available, on microfilm, in locations through out the U.S. The main thrust of the lecture is to describe the all-important finding aids to NARA records. The session deals more with how to locate the records rather than the information contained in the records. By describing the finding aids and how they work it is then possible for the researcher to locate records other than census, pension, bounty land and complied military service records. There is a brief mention of the finding aids that are available on the Internet. There is an explanation of how and why the records are arranged the way they are. So many different government agencies created the same or very similar types of records that even if the records desired are missing there many be other records that would furnish the same type of information. Time is spent on an explanation of "archijive." These are the short cut phrases used by archivists, which genealogists need to be familiar with, in order to understand what they are being told. A small case study is used to show the additional amount of information that can be obtained on a soldier who attended the U.S. Military Academy. Proper source citation is also included. Marie Varrelman Melchiori, CGRS, CGL, is a full-time researcher since 1979, specializes in Union and Confederate records at the National Archives, Washington, D.C.

Marie has been one of the Co-Directors and a lecturer at the Irish Genealogical Congress in 1997 and 2001, held in Dublin, Ireland. ================================================================== Tuesday, Oct. 16, 7 p.m. at the Northland Public Library, 300 Cumberland Road, Pittsburgh, PA by the North Hills Genealogists. Free and open to the public. "Find Your Roots Before You Are Planted" Every person has a family, and every family has a history. This program will give you the beginning steps of collecting, organizing, and analyzing that history for clues to who your ancestors were, what they did, when and where they lived. Reasons to do family history will be discussed as well as different records available, preservation, and the Internet as a research tool. This lecture should give the beginner a solid foundation of how to record the information they gather with source citations and gives them many tips on staying organized with preservation of materials and artifacts for future generations in mind. It will also be a good refresher for anyone who has been doing genealogy for awhile. Elissa Scalise Powell, CGRS is a past president of both the Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Society and the North Hills Genealogists [of Pittsburgh] as well as a past newsletter editor for each.

"Sailing into the Sunset: Tips on Finding Your Ancestor's Passenger List" presented by Elissa Scalise Powell, CGRS (see Biography above).

Most people have at least one immigrant ancestor who arrived by ship, but the records that have been kept over the years are mostly chronological. This lecture reviews the history of why passenger lists were recorded in an attempt to understand what types of records exist. Various indices, research aides, examples of records and where to find them are all discussed. Internet sources will also be presented including the new Ellis Island Database.

Current, on-line initiatives like the Historic Pittsburgh Project and the Jewish Cemetery Database will also be presented. Some of the resources at the Archives Service Center of the University of Pittsburgh, 400 North Lexington Avenue, as well as current projects regarding some of those collections, will be discussed in the second part of this program. The Archives of Industrial Society is the name of a body of 600+ collections related to the ethnic, industrial, social, political, cultural, and environmental history of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania. Some of these are the Allegheny county Coroner’s records, church, city, county, business, and fraternal organization records.

    3. I am researching the David and Sidonia Camblin family. They came from Monongalia County, West Virginia prior to 1820. In 1820 they were living in Franklin Twp. Sidonia died between 1820 - 1830. David shows up in the 1830 census. They had a daughter, Mary who married David Fowler in 1823, who may have stayed in the area. Their other children: Eleanor died 1822 in Monongalia Co, Sidney married Jonathan Morgan in Wayne Co. in 1820 and moved on to Indiana and Iowa, Enoch lived in Indiana, Joseph and David Jr., lived in Monongalia County, West Virginia. Any information on the David and Sidonia Camblin in Wayne County will be greatly appreciated. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

    1. [OHWAYNE] 60th Ohio Volunteer Infantry
    2. Jenny Volker
    3. Just thought I would let those that are interested know..... I have just completed the rosters for both the One Years' and Three Years' Service of the 60th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The roster is personalized in that next to each soldier's name is a column for links to grave sites, bios, photos, websites, etc. Also, our site contains photos, biographies, memoirs (letters, National Tribune articles, diaries, etc.) and other fascinating facts about the 60th OVI. Our site is not a "traditional" civil war site. Our goal was to also look at the 60th Ohio from more of a personal and genealogical perspective, as there are many sites that address specific battles, etc. Feel free to check it out and sign our guestbook. Please let us know if you are related to one of the soldiers. We would love to hear from you. Please e-mail me as I am not on this mailing list. Thanks, Jenny Volker Volker Haus Genealogy http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~volker 60th Ohio Volunteer Infantry http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~volker/60thOhio.html
