I guess I need to clarify just a bit. I know Lowellville is near Youngtown, OH, and is in Poland twp, Mahoning Co., OH. I re-looked at my New Castle newspaper source, (an Obit) which states the individual (a James Ripple, age 45) died at his residence on Lowell Road near Edenburg. I guess since I also have located ancestors living *in* Lowellville, *and* Edenburg, I was assuming the Lowell Road was the road taken to go to Lowellville. I also check some of the Internet map sites, and the road numbers look like US 224 might be this road - it does go to New Castle - 12 mile jaunt. When I looked at the map and zoomed closer (driving directions), I also found one of the roads named Ripple Road in Lowellville - this is one of the surnames I am looking for with this information, and could be named from the family that lived along here. Again, any information anyone would have on resources, history, etc. would be greatly appreciated - Thanks to those of you who have e-mailed me privately. Jan
