How funny the two of you just posted yesterday and this is my first time looking here. I have an Earl A. Ridinger in Havelock,Lancester NE in my records for this reason: I am a Powers decendant and my grandfather tells me his father, Sam Lewis Powers b.1887 or 1888 in OH had a sister Minerva that married a Paul Ridinger. Sam married and had family in Lincoln, Lancester Co NE in the early 1900s. Im trying to find Sam and Minerva's parents names and where in OH Sam was born. Hence, I thought I would look to see if any Ridingers had any record of my Powers. Perhaps we can help each other? !!
