Posted on: Roth Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/rot/Roth/10185 Surname: ------------------------- My gr grandfather was also named Elmer Roth. He was born in 1877 in Oakwood Township Illinois (Danville) and died in 1957. He married Berda Osborne in 1900 in Danville. Does any of this sound familiar to you? His family was from OHIO--his father Samuel Roth was the son of John Roth and from what I know they were from, or in at one time, Monroe County.
