Candy,
I'll keep an eye out for your grandfather's name. I've been searching
Cannadys myself. My wife's father was Frank Edward Kennedy of
Columbus Ohio.
Before his name was changed, the family name was Cannady. There were
many
Cannadys in Ohio. Most of them go by Kennedy today, the more popular
spelling. There are also some Kennedys here in west Kentucky who used
to go
by the name Cannady.
Remember that names were often spelled however the record keeper
decided to
write them. On one census it would be spelled one way, on the next it
might
be spelled another way. Many people from the past could not read or
write.
Opportunity for education was scarce, and less valued.
Good luck in your search. I'll keep your e-mail.
