I cannot find anything out on her mother and father. Could you help me find out who her parents were and her siblings. I was told her mother died ??? when she was very young. Then her father remarried to ??? then he died ??? . Then her step mom remarried to ??? and her new husband would not let her step children live with them. This is what I was told. But nobody could give me any names.

Shelly, familia@sprintmail.com, May 17, 2000 - BILLOW
I need your help...
I have "rescued" an old photograph of Lottie BILLOW but I haven't been able
to find any living relatives. The photograph was taken at a studio in
Bryan, OH, likely sometime in the 1880's when Lottie was an infant. I'd like
to find Lottie's family and return the photograph.

Nicky, HALAL00@aol.com, May 29, 2000 - MERCHANT, etc.
I had a great-grandaunt that I would like to know more about. Her name was Susanna NORIGON and she married a Isaac Thomas MERCHANT, born in 1840 in Williams Co., Edon, Florence Twp. I know that Isaac moved to Tuscarawas Co. and married Susanna in 1869 because of the marriage and census records. However, Isaac, died young, in 1883 and is buried at the West Union Cemetery in Ulrichesville, Tuscarawas Co. Ohio. Susanna MERCHANT is still living in Tuscarawas Co. in the 1900 census with one child, William MERCHANT, age 20. Susanna disappears after 1900, and I would like to know what happened to her. Since, Isaac was born in Williams County, I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the Merchant family, that might give me a clue to Susanna? I know that Isaac's parents were James MERCHANT and Hannah CONDON. Thanks for any help.

I am researching my G-Grandfather, Horatio Clarence McDowell. The information I have is that he was born in Center township, Williams Center, Williams Co. Ohio Jan. 06 1851. He died Jan.11 1945 in Petoskey, MI.He married Rebecca Frances Manon, b.Jan 03 1859 in Ohio ( I do not know where) died May 13 1912 in Petoskey MI, her parents were Jacob Manon and Elizabeth Betz.
Because of the timing of his birth, and the census,and general lack of record keeping I have had no luck at all in even finding any proof of his existence.And I know he did, but I do not have the access to any place that may have some type of information.Is there any way that you may be able to help me find something that will allow me to continue. I have been at a standstill for 3 yrs..
