Surnames in Bloom Twp.:: Welch, Thrash, Valentine, Conaway, Smith, Sweitzer, Sowers, Reed, Finney, Fiallos
Comments or queries:I've been conducting research for my husband's family and this website has been extremely helpful. I already had a lot of the names and dates thanks to my husband's great-aunt, Sarah E. (Welch) Krouse, but thanks to this website I have been able to piece a lot more together. On my husband's mother's side (Linda S. Smith who was daughter to Mildred L. Welch/Smith/Nelson and Ivan Smith) I can go back 5 generations so far. Unfortunately I have not been able to find much on Ivan Smith, her father. I know he had a brother named Omar Smith. His parents names were Ivan Smith and Estella Hawthorne/Smith. I found two "Stella" Smiths buried in the area through the http://www.fairfieldgenealogy.org/index.htm site. Stella B. Smith in Amanda and Stella M. Smith in Liberty. Ivan lived in Ohio most of his life and died around 1980 (probably born sometime around 1930?). My brother in law also remembers that he was a taxi driver. One lead I found online indicates he may have been born in West Virginia but I don't know how reliable that information is. I also know that he and Mildred were married and then divorced. She later remarried (Ray Nelson) and she died Jan. 1999 and was buried at Floral hills Memory Gardens Cemetery. Since we live in Florida and are both graduate students the internet is pretty much our only source of information. So we greatly appreciate any information. Thank you so much for putting this website together!

Believe I have found them (with much help) in 1850 Lemon, Butler, Ohio census with father? Samuel. Family thinks their father b. Pa and named John, which is a conflict to their beliefs.

I'v always suspected the answers would return to this web-site after I was referred here by Marge Bond to trace the Rockey side of the family. There is question that "our" Robert m. Prerab Shisler 1848. Hopefully this will obtain the parentage of these brothers. Thank you again for your cooperation. PS are you interested in names, etc. of George Andrew Rockey's children?

Comments or queries:My husband's mother's line includes Jesse Musselman (1830-1883) who married Anne Elizabeth Millar (1833-1920). When Iona died, the brothers gave me her genealogical files. Since she died suddenly in 1991, they were not fully organized. I am attempting to organize them and to follow clues that she had found concerning both the ancestors AND descendants of Jesse. I am also interested in correponding with those individuals who may have been writing to Iona at the time of her death.

I know that William is supposed to have died before 1850 census, but I can't find info about Mary Ann. Sophia survived, married George Kiger, and they spent their adult lives in Wood County, OH. Sophia (Slife) and George Kiger are my great-great grandparents. Mary Ann is listed as "Mother" on Sophia's death certificate, but the "Father" is listed as "Unknown," probably because he had died many years earlier.

Comments or queries:Just recently revisited the site and checked on surnames. Discovered new information concerning my gr.gr.grandmother Judith Macklin and a son Henry A.M. Miller and his family. Although we had been told of a son , it was assumed he was born after her husband Eli died and she moved back to Ohio from Illinois. Assuming she had remarried to a Miller, we were never able to find information on him or a son. Judith's daughter Angeline Macklin Russell was my gr. grandmother. Would love to hear from descendants of Henry A. M. Miller. Diane Russell Groth
