Comments:My father was Joseph Corral, my mother is Judy (Long). I am attempting to make some sort of family tree for my children.
I am looking for more information on my grandparents, where they came from, their family members, etc.
My paternal grandparents were George and Velma Corral. They had 8 children, 5 girls and 3 boys. My maternal grandparents were Ernest and Martha Long. Her maiden name was Brubaker and I think her mothers name was Mary.
Most of my parents siblings are still in the area, however I do NOT have email addresses or phone numbers for them.
Hopefully, one of them will stumble across here as I did.
What a wonderful site, it is very interesting and fun to go through.

Comments:This site is well done. Thanks for your hard work. One question - is there a place where I can find obituaries from 1917 forward? Have I overlooked it or is it yet to come?
Also - do you plan on entering all of the headstones (my father Richard Heiffner is there but you only show the headstones of his father, mother and two brothers. Thanks again. Keep up the good work!

Comments:Interest lies in any history or background on Amos Homan and his wife Ellen Homan. Amos was born in PA in 1836 but moved to Greene Twshp. (Perrysville) sometime after the Civil War. He (a veteran of that war) is buried in the Union Cemetary in Perrysville. He and his wife lived in Cleveland, OH for a time but both chose to be buried back in Perrysville. They were the parents a a large family --my father-in-law, Fred Homan was their youngest child. Few records exist in PA. as to his birth. Trying to establish his parentage--would it show up on any records in Ashland County? Any help appreciated. Marie Homan
