Dear Connie,
I would be interested in your paper on Marshall Co. history. I have many
ancestors from Marshall County. I am looking for the names Geiselman,
Riggens, Ringle and Brown. The towns they lived in were Etna Green, Bremen
and Culver. Thanks.

Ed,
I live in the Plymouth area. A few years ago I wrote a lengthy paper
on the history of Marshall County you might find interesting. As soon
as possible I will send it to you, if you wish. If anyone out there
comes across info. on the Holdread, Holderread, Holdred, Holdereed,
etc. name, please let me know. Right now I am looking for info. on
the Holdread's of Ohio.
Connie Holdread
PS I hope I am sending this to the correct address. I'm new to the
web site.
