I am responding to Heather's information. I am her aunt. Her father is my next to the oldest brother. Her response was pretty accurate, I only have a small amount to add, My grandfather, William Clarence was born in West Virginia in 1899 and died in 1970 (in Wooster,Ohio.) He moved to Ohio later. Not sure of any of the dates. My Father Loran Frederick was one of two children born to William Clarence. His brother's name was William also. My father Loran was born in Marysville, Ohio in 1920. It was originally told to me that when our great-great(+)grandfather was one of 5 brothers who came to America. I can't give any details. It would be great to find more relatives. Hope this helps with the hunt for more relatives and information. One other correction is my sister Pam's actual name is Nola Pam, Not Pamela Nicole.
Good luck in your endeavors.
