My family has long roots in the state of Ohio. My parents were each born in Ohio in the first quarter of the 1900s. My father was born in southwestern Ohio just east of Cincinnati, and my mother was born in north-central Ohio, in Lorain Ohio. My ancestors on my father’s side came to the Cincinnati area starting in the late 1790s to early 1800s. My ancestors on my mother’s side came to northeastern Ohio, starting in the early 1800s. Although six of my 16 g-g-grandparents were born in other states, all but one were in Ohio by the time they married.

This site is intended to present the families of my great-grandparents, each of the eight has a separate section or chapter. Some of the “chapters” are very sparse so far and others have more information. I have blogged about some families or individuals on my GenealogyGals blog site.

I endeavor to document all the information I post. However, not all information in my family tree is currently documented, or as thoroughly documented as I would wish, so if you know of errors or have additions to make please contact me. And of course, please document for yourself if you are going to use the information in your own genealogical work. I am not infallible.
