Re: ATT: Kris - Possible William PARKER family photograph need help

theLinda1 — 2013-03-23 01:12:40Z

Hallie, you are indeed researching the same Parker family as Phil Stead in England.... I am also.

William, Thomas Smith, George, Richard, Morris, James and John Parker were all born in Lincolnshire, England and were sons of Thomas and Eliza (Smith) Parker. They have descendants. "Aunt Ellen" must have been a sister of Eliza (Smith) Parker. I'm sure they would also appreciate any information about their Smith ancestors (& cousins) from Lincolnshire, England. I think some of the Smiths also immigrated to Wyandot Co., Ohio. I am researching my Richmond ancestors (of Mary A. Richmond married to James Beet Parker in Wyandot Co., OH) and have come across a Richmond/Smith marriage.

Thomas Parker died in England and his widow, Eliza, also came to Wyandot County, Ohio (USA) and married the (also widowed) brother of Thomas, Rev. George Parker. Henry Parker was a son of Rev. George Parker, and a brother to my gr great grandfather, James Beet Parker. Henry and James B. Parker were 1st cousins to William, Thomas Smith, George, Richard, Morris, James and John Parker.

Thank you Laurie, but speaking for myself, my obit finally arrived sometime in December, so I'm good.

Thanks for the offer though!

I will give it a try. When I get to Upper I will look for the information you requested.

Re: Will pay for obit lookup

Mbwood62 — 2013-03-07 16:28:05Z

Laurie, may I ask a favor please? If you're going to be in Upper Sandusky, I'd happily pay for the obit of Edward George Steiner, 28 May 1830 to 13 March 1880. I've been unable to find names of his parents or siblings, in particular. Thank you so much for this if you can help! (Also seeking Joseph Rinehart's obit, as I noted in my last post.)

And of course I'm happy to exchange info or see whether I can help you in any way. Thank you, genealogy angel.

Re: Will pay for obit lookup

Mbwood62 — 2013-03-07 16:20:22Z

The only obit I have for Joseph Rinehart is from Wyandot Cty Republican newspaper on 13 Dec 1888: "Joseph Rinehart died Sunday morning, Dec. 9th, at the resident of Mrs. E.G. Steiner, aged 82 years. Funeral Monday afternoon at Oceola O."

If anyone finds a different obit for Joseph Rinehart, please please let me know (I'll gladly pay for copies also). He was my hubby's 2d g-grandpa. Mrs. E.G. Steiner (Elizabeth Jane Rinehart Steiner) was hubby's g-grandma. Happy to exchange info about Rineharts with other researchers. - Marian Wood

Re: Will pay for obit lookup

laurie64large — 2013-03-06 23:29:34Z

Will let you know what I find. There is a good site called genealogy3 that has some info on Wyandot county. Also have you ever looked on Familysearch.org? Lots of good-free information.

Re: Will pay for obit lookup

Give me a couple of weeks and I will see what I can do. I go to Upper Sandusky about once a month.

Re: Will pay for obit lookup

MarciaSalvatore — 2013-03-06 12:02:41Z

Need obits for ther following three people:
George Rinehart 18 Apr 1810 - 10 Jul 1889 ; Joseph Rinehart 27 Oct 1806 - 09 Dec 1888 ; Catherine Weiser Hilborn 16 Jan 1825 - 03 Feb 1895 all died Nevada, Ohio. Will gladly pay for copies. They can also be emailed to me.

Re: Will pay for obit lookup

laurie64large — 2013-03-06 01:07:11Z

Not sure how far back they go. Some are hit and miss. I have some for the early 1900's for sure. Sometimes there is just a short paragraph about the person who died. I do have some obits for the 1890's in my tree from Wyandot county.

Re: Will pay for obit lookup

MarciaSalvatore — 2013-03-06 00:08:39Z

How far back do the obituaries go for Wyandot County? I am looking for some in the late 1880's, 1890's and early 1900's.

Re: Will pay for obit lookup

laurie64large — 2013-03-05 17:26:08Z

Who do you need an obit for? Don't want any pay for it, I go to the library often. I would be willing to look up obits for you.

Re: Newspapers

miniec1 — 2013-01-27 19:57:19Z

Thank you, that would be so kind of you and I will pay for any copying, postage, no problem. I am looking for an obit for Jeremiah F. Sanford, died 1-18-1890 in Wyandot County, OH and probably in the town of Marseilles. He was born in 1805 in NY. Since I posted this message I have found out there are three other newspapers that were probably active in 1890 and I don't know if they are in the Upper Sandusky Libray or not but they are: Wyandot Co. Republican, Wyandot Democratice Union and Wyandot Pioneer. It's possible the obit could be in one of those rather than the Daily Chief/Union, I don't know.
Thank you and you can email me direct at: cdob17@roadrunner.com

Re: Newspapers

Beth4372 — 2013-01-27 03:16:43Z

what might you be looking for in the daily chief union from 1890's? i live in sandusky county ohio and my family roots are from wyandot county, i go to that library once in awhile and will be going there again. if you are looking for something specific if you let me know i could look it up for you and make copies and send them to you.

You might asked your local library if they belong to an inter-library loan program. Here in Michigan I used to be able to borrow 4 rolls of film every month, until the Michigan State Library run out of money and had to cancel that program

Re: Newspapers

Re: Newspapers

At the Upper Sandusky Library they have microfilm copies of the Upper Sandusky Daily Chief-Union that go way back in time that can be viewed for nothing !!!

miniec1 — 2013-01-25 16:10:03Z

Does anyone know what newspapers were active in Wyandot Co., OH in 1890 and where they would be, or the microfilm may be?

I’m not related to any member of this family.

1940 is the last available census at this time.

OH Vital Records -
Prior to September 7, 1949, marriages were record at the county probate courts as each county was formed. At that time, an index of all Ohio marriages was not maintained. It was not until 1949, that a statewide index of marriages that occurred in Ohio was created at the state level with the Ohio Department of Health, Office of Vital Statistics. While the state Office of Vital Statistics maintains indexes of all marriages, the county probate courts where the married couples applied for their license is where the official marriage certificate resides.

Re: Reigle, Riegel, Steigerwalt Nightmare - HELP!

jefflamarca — 2012-10-28 10:09:55Z

Here's the latest update: the Wyandot Courthouse is completely useless. I've worked on my family history for a very long time and I've never come across any agency that was so unhelpful! Just the same, I found some wonderful people who live locally and the kindly went to the courthouse and looked up the information for me. I'm sure I'd still be waiting if it wasn't for the kind volunteers!

Anyway, the probate records turned up very little and did not contain what I really needed. However, I finally put together a "preponderance of evidence letter" to prove that Margaret Riegle was George Riegle's daughter and submitted an application to SAR. I was just notified that my application was accepted!!! Although it appears as if there are not original documents that prove Margaret was George's daughter, based upon what I submitted to SAR, I don't believe that any other conclusion can be made.

I want to thank everyone who has helped me in dealing with this genealogical nightmare! Also, if there are any Riegle descendents who read this, PLEASE get your DNA tested (I did) - that may be the only way to prove our relationships as this is an extremely difficult line to research. It's certainly the most difficult I've ever dealt with since I started researching my family history back in the 1970s!

I’m not related to any member of this family.

1930 is the last available searchable census at this time.

1940 census has been released but it will take several months before the transcription is completed.

Facts you should know about the early census records -
All census records [1790 – 1840] prior to the 1850 census ONLY listed the head of household; whether male or female.

NO specific age was stated for any family member
NO place of birth was stated – city, state, or country
NO city, town, or village is stated – only the county; however some census takers listed the township
NO street address was stated
NO marital status was stated – single, married, widowed, or divorced
NO family relationship was stated – brother, sister, cousin, son, daughter, wife, inlaw, etc…
NO occupation was stated
NO parental birthplaces are stated
NO race was stated [but assume “white”]

1850, 1860 & 1870 census records do not show family relationships, marital status or parental birthplaces.

Step children are not enumerated as “step” children
Adopted children are not enumerated as “adopted”
Grand children are not enumerated as “grand children”
Orphaned children were not enumerated as "orphan"

1850 is the 1st census that shows all family members

1880 is the 1st census that shows parental birthplaces +++

Only the 1900 census provides a birthdate and it is in the forn - mm/yyyy

1870 - Ora is not listed.

1880 -
Name: Ora Felton
Age: 18
Birth Year: abt 1862
Birthplace: Ohio
Home in 1880: Antrim, Wyandot, Ohio
Race: White
Gender: Male
Relation to Head of House: Brother-in-law
Marital Status: Single
Father's Birthplace: Ohio
Mother's Birthplace: Pennsylvania
Occupation: Farm Laborer

Peter Hesser 28, OH
Miranda Hesser 28, WI
Maud Hesser 2, OH
Charles Hesser 5m, OH
