My CLEVELAND ancestors lived in Athens county, Ohio. I was able to find them in The Genealogy of the Cleveland and Cleaveland Families on Ancestry. That's the only reason that I even have CLEVELAND ancestors. Found my WASHBURN family in the book first.

Well Miriam, it appears you have been a trail blazer here. It is fascinating to watch this grow tonight. I can't wait to come to Spokane. It will be great to meet you. If you need anything on that let me know. And I'd be honored if you would join the Generation Maps fans group. Thanks.

Thanks for the invites Miriam. I don't have any lineage in the Spokane area; but would enjoy getting involved with some genealogy buffs in the area. I'll put the September event on my calendar, and keep it in mind as it gets closer.

Just to say Hi and say that I grew up in Spokane - Graduated from NC in 63 and Eastern in 67. Family names in Spokane area are Meyers, Neumann (Maternal) - they settled [maybe homesteaded] in Dartford north of Spokane. My GGGrand other was on the founding board of the Dartford Cemetery and many ancesters are buried there. The Meyers (maternal GFather) was from PA. Carnahan family from MO. Andy

Hello Miriam, Thank you for the "invite" to this site. It looks to be very promising.
I recently came across the site: http://opengen.net/ It has a very nice interactive map of the United States as well as links to each state in index form. Lots of information for free.

See you at the Conference!

Dear Miriam
Thank you for the information on Mary B. Kehoe. It is certainly a feast or a famine. I also heard from the Register of Wills, Clerk of the Probate Division, Superior Court of the District of Columbia, Washington D.C., now that is a title. They have found Mary in their records and are currently accessing the offsite files and are processing my request for copies of her probate file. I can't wait to get them.

Hi Miriam, welcome to the Frisian Genealogy site. I see that you are researching the surname "Sweers", that was a name I often came across when we lived in Ostfriesland, Germany. My sister, who still lives in Germany, is actually married to a Sweers.
