QUERY!!


I am looking for information regarding John W. Summers, his wife Martha Summers, and their daughter Theressa Summers.  They lived in Washington Township, Lawrence County, Ohio in the late 1800"s.  I know John was born about 1846 and Martha died February 12, 1889 and is buried in Olive Cemetery.  Theressa, my grandmother, married Grove White and lived in Lancaster, Ohio.  I would appreciate any information.  Thank you.

NEW!  Please help me find William Isitt!


I am trying to trace a distant relative named William Isitt, who was born in Pembrokeshire, Wales in 1815 and emigrated to the U.S., arriving in New York in April 1842 on the "Sheridan". I have a copy of a letter that he wrote to his brother and sister in Wales on July 17th 1848. His address at that time was Hanging Rock, Lawrence County, Ohio.
 
Other than this letter, and the record of his arrival in New York, I have been able to find absolutely no record of William Isitt in the U.S. 
 
I am wondering if you have any ideas, or if you can suggest someone who could undertake some paid research for me.
 
I look forward to hearing from you.
 
Best regards

LAWRENCE COUNTY, OHIO

ANNOTATED CHILDREN'S HOME REGISTER 1874-1929

WRITTEN BY MARTHA J. KOUNSE (Martin)

Paper; 8.5 x 11 inches; viii, 193 pages; alphabetically arranged; notes; index
$24.95 plus $3.00 mailing (Ohio residents add $1.50 sales tax)
ISBN 1-932250-04-2

This book has been ten years in the making. I have painstakingly read page by page of the original microfilmed record of the Lawrence County, Ohio Children's Home Register. Many times I proofed the names, dates, and places for accuracy. Lots of other sources were researched to add more in-depth information about the children and their families.

You will find very important and rare genealogical information not found anywhere in other documents. That information includes adoptions, deaths in hospitals in other counties, burials, death and birth dates (and places) of parents, siblings, grandparents, etc. In some cases it gives the maiden name of mother and illegitimate children's parents.

If you have been looking for a lost child in your family who disappeared, YOU NEED TO CHECK THIS BOOK!! Sometimes children were sent to homes in other cities where they became of age and stayed in that town, marrying and raising a family there. You will be amazed at the amount of material included.

To order send $24.95 plus $3.00 mailing (Ohio residents add 7% sales tax) to:
