Hi I am new to your list. I am looking for information about my gg-grandfather Graham D. Slitor. He was born in Erie Co., on 24 Mar 1837. I don't know much else about him. How far back do Birth records go in Erie County?

This is very strange. I can find no Graham Slitor or Sliter anywhere in the US census indexes in 1860 or 1870 (or 1910, for that matter). Could the spelling you have of his name be a simplification - from something more Germanic, perhaps? Or did he die or go West (to a territory) before 1860? The former would make him a bit too young to become anyone's ancestor, but the latter might explain his absence from the earlier censuses. Oh, and have you checked Civil War records for him? Birth records definitely do not go back to 1837, but church records or posted Bible records might possibly list him (of you're lucky). If someone has an 1850 census index, they might be able to find him with his parents that year. --- BELINDA WINSTEAD <testaments2@msn.com> wrote: > Hi I am new to your list.
