    3. HELP! My g-grandfather was Willoughby Robert RHOADS, b. 26 Oct 1857 (or 1852), W. Hanover Twp, Dauphin Co., PA. His bapt. records list his parents as Daniel & Catharine Rhoads. BUT I have his schoolbook with the inscription: "Willoughby Roth's arithmetic, school No. 6, Dec. 2nd 1859". Family history says the name was originally ROTH, but I don't know WHEN the name changed or WHO changed it. I don't know whether to look for Daniel & Catharine as Rhoads OR Roth. (I can't find either one in W. Hanover.) To make matters more confusing, Willoughby's wife died in 1886 & the name on her marker is spelled RHODES. Willoughby used that spelling until he died in 1928 , Seattle,WA. Willoughby eventually moved to Ohio abt. 1890 & remarried. Its possible he had some family connection in Springfield but I can't find that either. This has been a brick wall for me. I can't get past my g-grandfather . Any ideas? Jerry Rhodes
