Here is the expert (as far as I am concerned) for that side of the family, Stanley G. Davis who lives in Illinois. He got his information from the Fanny Ozment Reynold's book plus he took it further with his own research and brought it more up to date. I don't recall if Stanley is on the list or not. He is always interested in the Ozments. Good to hear from you. As you can imagine it differs a little from yours also. It is hard to get to the root of our Ozment families. I always stand to be corrected. Thank you. If you need or want any more information on this side of the family let me know. We can always compare. I have Stanley's information now in the computer. He has so graciously given to me. He wants all credit given to Fanny. Sincerely, Lon 1.
