A big thanks go out to Teeter Grosvenor. This is a wonderful addition to
the website, which I am sure that I will look back at many times. I must
say that I have been to the Anderson Allyn Room at the Chardon Library
just about three weeks ago for the first time. I was amazed at all the
helpful information that I found there, all in that little itty-bitty
room. It is the best library that I have been in a long time and I would
suggest to all the list members that if you can visit there, you will be

Looking for other researching the above names in Geauga County. John Parsons
married Gertrude Rockafellow in 1878. He was a prominent cheese maker in the
area. Son Frank Oren b. 1886 married a McGuire.
I couldn't find an address on the web page so I want to give a public thank
you to Teeter Grosvenor for all the work she did to get the cemetery
information posted. Thank you very much, Teeter, for all the hard work.
I'm sure it will be enjoyed and appreciated by many people in the very near
future. You are our eyes into the past.

I hope that someone can give me information on finding out about the burial
records and site of my grandfather and grandmother and at least two of their
sons who are buried at Shadyrest Cemetery in Auburn Corners.
I wrote to the Auburn Historical Society and received a computer printout
that shows the owner of Lot 111 in Sect 4 is LUCIUS HAND but it shows zero
for the number in that lot. Lucius died Nov. 1962 and I know for a fact that
he is buried in this cemetery and there should be a marker on hi
There is a cemetery in Geauga County, Auburn on Hiwy 422 does anyone
know of it and the name?
I think my gr grandparents are buried there, but the one online does not
contain their names, so this must be another one.
The surname is JAITE given names Julius J. and Emma. Also could the name
of this cemetery be Knollwood? that is where obits say Julius is buried.
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

Al Dawson from Berea, Ohio with a genealogical parable:
Last night I did my first posting to the new (to me at least)

It went like this:

I have a family that lived in Geauga County and had a daughter who was placed
in the State Home in 1856. Her name Rosalia Rockafellow/feller. Where would
the State Home have been? Thanks, Barb
Hi,
I will be up in Geauga Co this coming Wednesday and I could use some help.
Could someone please tell me where the Burroughs Cemetery in Troy Twp is
located? I have many members of my family in that cemetery and would like to
visit there that day.
Also where is the courthouse for Geauga County located?
Thanks,
Vicky Burns
FYI:
All the Geauga Co. cemetery data is now online in the USGenweb Archives for
Geauga Co. The URL is:
ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/oh/geauga/cemeteries/
If you don't have Internet access, drop me a line letting me know which town
that you would be looking in (if known) & the name of
your ancestor & I'll take a look for you.
These files are very large right now so loading is slow. They will be
broken down to smaller files eventually.

Remember to post your Geauga Co. concerns if you haven't done so lately, and

Hi all,
I have some estate papers for my Gr. Grandmother ELIZA A. HAND nee WHIPPLE
from 1893. One of the papers is an application to the probate court of
Geauga Co. by a creditor named A.R.Odell and has to do with money owed on a
land sale. Is there anyone out there who could tell me how I would find out
where this land may have been? At the time of her death she lived in
Bainbridge Twp.
I am also looking for any information on her father PIERCE/PURSE WHIPPLE
b.1815 and her husband WILLIAM H. HAND.
Just received the following URL this evening from Maggie Stewart-Zimmerman.
Check it out & have fun. It also contains Teeter Grosvenor's email address.
She's the one who has transcribed all the cemetery records for the Archives.
Hope everyone takes a moment to write & thank her for her hard work.

I have been "reading the e-mail" for about a month as a newcomer to
genealogy on line. That cemetery list was exactly what I needed. Many
thanks to Teeter Grosvenor!
I am researching Keeney, Keeny, Dewey, Brainard.
I expect to be traveling to Geagua County in July or August and do some
research there, and the on-line information I am getting is so helpful.

Last night as I posted the fact that the Geauga Co. cemeteries were online,
I neglected to give credit to the person who actually did the work. Teeter
Grosvenor, of the Geauga Chapter of the OGS, is responsible for getting this
all online for us. I believe there is an email address listed for either
her or the Geauga chapter on the web page, if you all want to drop her a
line & thank her for her work.

Hi,
Yesterday I wrote in regard to my Grandparents buriel site and in error I
said they were at Shadyrest Cemetery. Sorry it should have said Shadyside in
Auburn Corners.

Teeter Grosvenor has done all of us a tremendous favor. I know that I can't
say a big enough THANK YOU!
Within minutes of reading the post to the list that it was there, I went to
the site and I knocked down a few of the bricks in one of my walls. I'm
hoping that the whole wall tumbles, but even if it doesn't, it sure feels
good to have experienced a day that yielded even the slightest 'something.'
Thanks for that.
