I am attempting to identify the parents of my grandmother, Carrie Elizabeth Channel. Pike
Co., Ohio probate court records indicate that Catherine Chancel gave birth to an Elizabeth
Chancel on April 26, 1882 in Pike Co. While my grandmother's obituary indicates she
was born on February 14, 1881 in Pike Co, my mother's birth certificate shows her
mother as being 26 years of age at my mothers birth on February 9, 1909. The probate
court records of Pike Co. show an Elsie Pearl Channel born in 1883, but no others between
1880-1885. I suspect that Catherine Chancel was actually Catherine Channel and may well
be my great grandmother but unable to show that Elizabeth Chancel is actually Carrie
Elizabeth Channel. Catherine Channel does appear in the 1880 Pike Co., Ohio Census.
Would sincerely appreciate any help anyone could give me. Harold Sager, Virginia Beach,
