Hi Everyone. Following are my interests. Any suggestions or information greatly
appreciated.
Information on all events is derived from a family history believed to have been written
at or near Cincinnati, Ohio US circa late 19th to early 20th century by sisters Mary and
Elizabeth Powell. The family history appears to be based on the sisters' recollection
of what they were told of events by their parents or their own recollections. Have found
possible Parish record matches for marriages listed. Family history contains additional
details and information relating to US descendents.
