Surnames in Bloom Twp.:: KITZMILLER, CARNES, KARNES
Comments or queries:I am closing in on my Carnes/Karnes family in Bloom Township and I'm hoping that someone will have that vital piece of information that will tie everything together. My 3rd Great-grandmother was Anna "Nancy" CARNES (1810-1891), who married Daniel Kitzmiller in 1829 (according to their family Bible) and lived in Bloom Township until the 1840s when they moved to Logan, Ohio, where they died and are buried. I recently found that Anna had a brother, George KARNES (dates unknown) who married Daniel KITZMILLER's sister, Elizabeth. George and Elizabeth were married about 1831 when Elizabeth was about 18-19 years old. They had one child, Oliver (1832-1904), and Elizabeth died in 1833 when she was 19 years old. I don't believe that George raised his son, Oliver, but probably gave him to his father-in-law, Benjamin KITZMILLER, to raise, and Benjamin mentions Oliver in his will. That now gives us two names to search: Anna CARNES KITZMILLER and her brother, George KARNES. I'd really like to find their parents because I want to do a DNA search and I need more on my female line before I can do much. Can anyone help me find their parents?

I traced my family back to John Foor on your website and then the index notes of Johann Leonhart Fuhr and I noticed the mention of a missing Bible with the missing links to him. My Grandfather told me that he had said Bible and gave it to some girl at the Bedford historical society or museum...not sure I could try to ask him. If this Bible could be located with the family tree this could also clear up the mystery about Elizabeth Mary Foor's children and their father. Also a few corrections: Melanie E. Foor married Brian Thomas Harris June 26, 2004 Gary Lee Foor married Marie E. Kelly not Mary I am 97% sure that Vaughn's middle name is Lee. Thanks for the cool historical info. Hope my info can help clear up the mystery. If only Grandpa had kept the Bible! Someone has it though. Melanie E. Harris Location: Youngstown OH

I know one of my Fathers' Aunts was Sadie Maye Courtright, who lived in San Diego, California when she passed away in 1979;dob- unknown, a cousin to my Father, Robert Earl Mitchell....lived in Torrance, Cal. at the time of Sadie Maye s' death. I do know there are relatives by the names of Connie LeBlond Busch, (Kenney), Everett Wood,Civilia Farris,Chrles and Earnie Glover, Florine Winkler, Harold & Audrine Winkler, Anna Courtright Taylor;.... --Charles,Urphia,Richard,Lloyd,Elmer,Cora, and Anna COURTRIGHT. Last but NOT LEAST, my Fathers' last name being MILLER, and of course men KEEP the given name. His Father was also Fred Miller, and was the owner of the pharmacy named The 'PALACE' (also a goods store) in Oklahoma.There are so many different names, because my grandfather, Fred Lamont Miller, had 8 sisters, who of course took their husbands names, as they were married. I am really hoping to hear back from any and ALL that have information, or, those that could possibly be my relative. Wouldn't it be WONDERFUL, for a uniting of relatives. It ahs been allot of years that we have NOT known each other. I wish the BEST to EVERYONE, and PRAY that GOD BLESSES each, and everyone of you. GOD BLESS' Cynthia MILLER'- skaggs

From the 1875 Map of Bloom Twp, it seems I live on land that was owned previously by Jesse Brandt. Would I be able to find out what happened to Jesse Brandt? I couldn't find him in the Cemetery listings. I am fascinated with the history of the area, especially Coffman Cemetery.

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!

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
