Hi Brenda, Charles F. was my 4xgr.father, but charles Jr. was my 3xgr. father, he was Harriet's brother.It appears everyone in the family moved from Stark Co.Ohio to Indiana except Charles Jr. who settled in Wyandot Co. Ohio. Charles could not I believe read or write, because his will was made out by a lawyer and he was to make his mark for a signature. (I have his will.) This I believe is how our name got to be spelled Yahney. Charles Jr. was born in 1819 not 1841 as it shows in ancestry.com, I have his death record. His parents would of been in there fifty's when they had him, somebody is not figuring right. So if you find any Yahney's in Ohio were all related,I know them all. There are some in New York and Florida but they are Jewish and they came from Greece and just happen to change the spelling of there name to ours.
Limerick was one of the names in our family history too along with Dietelbach, Lambert,Gust,Daringer,anything sound familiar?? You can contact at
