I obtained two large tax books, (15 x 16 & 1/2 inches) but I'm not sure which states they came from. The first one is labeled DOVER 1914. The printed signature on the tax receipts is H. J. Brooks, Treasurer. The second book is labeled, Marysville Lots, 1929, Union County. There is a Marysville in Union County, Ohio so Ohio seems the best bet for this one unless there is another Union County with a Marysville in it. The Treasurer is G. L. Celine and one receipt indicates taxing on the N.Y. Central R.R. Taxes are on Lot Numbers, Acres, Road, Ditch, Street Cleaning, Sewer Rental, St. Resurfacing, Court Paving, Oil Sprinkling, Dog, Personal, etc. Dennis Wynn Dennis Ray Wynn b.4 Oct. 1939 [email protected]

Fairburn's Crests has a similar motto, "Eryr Eryrod Eryri" which is translated as "The eagle of the eagles of North Wales". It is shown as being the motto of the surname Owen.

Definitely off topic, but can't think of any better, more trustworthy group of people to ask. Anyone out there live in NC & willing to do a quick request to the NC Archives for me? There is no charge up front for a NC resident to make the request (but it's $20 for us out-of-staters). When the document is found, they contact you & tell you how much it will cost for the copies. I will pay all costs for the copies & mailing from you to me. I would like a copy of the marriage license of my 4th-great grandparents: Jesse (Grier) Greer married Judith (Judah) Hampton 14 Aug 1779 in Wilkes Co, NC; bondsmen Aquilla Greer & Francis Hardgrave The web address for the email form is http://www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/archives/mail.htm Believe I got that right. You can contact me off-list. That way we don't muddy the WINN-L waters. Thanks in advance!! It's so good to be back! Lisa
