JANUARY, 2024

Hi There....

Have been so busy trying to unpack things for this house now that we are back in Ohio, I just haven't seemed to have time to do what I should do here.
I have uploaded lots of biographies for Ashtabula County and Brown County, Ohio, though.

We had a death in the family on New Years Day.
I feel I should mention it here.
It was my oldest sister, Sylvia.
I am praying that she finds peace as her life was pretty hectic.

I will try to do requests ASAP.
I have been using a facebook group's research list as a guide.
If you want to get on it, go to the following groups:
Northwest Ohio Genealogy Group

Central Ohio Genealogy Group
Southwest Ohio Genealogy Group

My Research

I enjoy what I do and I enjoy helping people make their genealogy discoveries.
I myself finally found my great grandmother McPheron / Adkins' death certificate and her house! 
In August I finally found my Grandmother Adkin's 2nd husband's short biography.  Her name was spelled wrong in it but it is too late to have the editor change it as it is out of copyright.
I also found a lot of my dad's family.  It has been a good month for my research.
Wow!!!!  What an exciting find.
My mother's father passed away in the influenza epidemic in 1918 and with that was kind of a falling apart of that part of the family.
Thanks to my distant cousin, Paula, I have copies of wonderful portraits of my great grandmother and grandfather McPheron.
My cousin, Paula passed away in a motorcycle accident, May She Rest in Peace.
It just shows that you should never wait to ask someone for information as you just never know if God is going to take them from you.
You don't get another chance.
Again, I do know one thing, and that is... If you have a suspected source, pounce on it because from what I have seen in my own family tree, most of my sources have passed on to the Great Beyond.
Had I procrastinated, I wouldn't be as far as I am in my own research.
I still have several "Brick Walls" to conquer.
One is my Love branch.  The farthest back I have found them is in Lawrence Co., Indiana.
Another is my Earp branch.  The farthest I can find my great great grandmother Milly Earp is in 1853 when she married my great great grandfather.  Simon P. Earp assumed guardianship over her so she could get married and his son, Frank and his wife, Mary Earp signed the marriage license.
Simon lived in Shelby Co., Illinois.
I found her with her new husband in Linn County, Missouri in 1860.
And I also know she was remarried to her 2nd husband, George Leonard in Moultrie Co., Illinois.
and family lore says that she died in St. Joseph, Missouri
Milly Earp was also living in Macon Co., Illinois after her 1st husband died of disease in the Civil War.

I am also researching the Dunn Family along with all the offshoots like wives and anyone that has something special going on.
It includes surnames like Heustis, Gooding, Drake, Dunham, Freeland, Torrence, Slater, Sowers, Bowers and many other names.

This is what Ohio Genealogy Express is all about.
