I come from a family who owned Cleveland Ohio funeral homes (Est. 1905 through mid-70's) and a former Stage Coach Stop in Bainbridge Ohio halfway between Warren & Cleveland turned Tavern. Was always told both Recession-proof occupations. How can anyone not be interested? I started researching in the 1970's and since retiring have dug deeper into my family's roots to find out where everyone came from, number of children, siblings, parents, grandparents, in-laws etc. Now it's time to get that information loaded online for others to find and see doing future research. I'm available to help others do likewise. Fascinating . . . and addictive. I have personal connection to most memorials I've created and contributed to, but the lines have since blurred. I'm most interested in adding to life stories and developing context. My hope is that someone, sometime, somewhere will find a nugget that I've posted that opens up their ancestral background.

These are their stories . . .
