I am looking for a needle in a haystack - are not most of us?

My father was born December 22, 1906, in Pleasant City, Ohio, to Jno. Weston
and Mary Kennedy. He died in 1984.

My grandparents were, I believe, Roman Catholic. My grandfather was FOB
(fresh off the boat) from Scotland (around Sterling), having arrived in
either the late 1890s or right after the turn of the 20th century. My
grandmother was, I believe, first or second generation from Ireland.

According to my father, his mother was in Ohio visiting her sister (probably
married but I do not know her married surname). Later his family lived in
or around Birmingham, Alabama. My father was the eldest of 8 kids +/-. He
left home when he was about 20, on the death of his father, and did not keep
in touch with anyone in the family thereafter.

Does anyone have a female relative with a maiden name Kennedy that lived in
the vicinity of Pleasant City back in 1906 +/-?

Does anyone, by the way, know for what name Jno. is the abbreviation?
