Query: KIMMEL - Rcvd: August 2023
My brother and I are researching the paternal side of the KIMMEL family.
To date we have found a direct line on the Kimmel lineage beginning with Domans Kumel (1391-1450) in Neukirchen, Hessen, Germany. Those Kimmel's who emigrated to America settled initially in Pennsylvania, Johann Philip Kimmel (1695-1777) being the first, moving west and settling in Ohio. David Kimmel (1763-1827) was the first of our line (?) to settle in Dayton, Montgomery Co, OH. David Kimmel is our 3rd great-grandfather, Lewis Kimmel (1804-1876) our 2nd great-grandfather, Lewis Cass Kimmel (1848-1898) our great-grandfather, Nevin Edward Kimmel (1876-1940) our grandfather and Frederick L. Kimmel (1909-2005) our father. From DAvid to Frederick, all of these gentlemen lived and worked in and around Dayton. We are looking for any information about these Ohio Kimmel's, their residences, occupations, social commitments, religious affiliations and any other relevant information about these gentlemen.

Query: HILER - Rcvd: July 2023
I am looking for the death place, cause of death, and location of grave of Granville Augustus "Gus" Hiler. Born 15 Jun 1852 in Clark Twp., Brown Co. Ancestry has a death date for him as 14 Sept 1911 in Washington Twp., Montgomery County. But there is no documentation for this date or place, and I can't find out who posted it or when. He had to leave Brown County in a hurry in the late 1880s, and was never heard from again, as near as I can tell. He was my second great grandfather. Someone out there must know this info! Please, any help appreciated. Thanks

Query: DELSKAMP - Rcvd: January 2023
I am Uwe Delskamp from Bielefeld/Germany. While I was searching for my own ancestors from Bielefeld I found a Friedrich Wilhelm (Frederick William) Delskamp, born Nov. 06. 1820 here at Bielefeld, who arrived New in Orleans aboard the bark "America" on May 18, 1849. Most likely the same Frederick William married Miss Catharina Wilhelmina Meyer of Dissen (Kingdom Hannover) on "third day of March AD 1851". Filed and recorded on April 7, 1851, by J.J. Kiess, Minister of the Gospel. (St. Louis). (There is also an Edward Delskamp who was mustered out with Company from the 1. Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Company B, on Aug. 16th, 1861. His age was 40 years. But I have no idea where he is from...)
Perhaps there is a member of the Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society, or you know someone else named Delskamp or similar, who is searching for his German roots and is also interested in more free Information, he/she may contact me.
The spelling of the name is often different: Delskamp - Delscamp - Delkeskamp.

Query: Chamberlain & Hellrigle - Rcvd: Feb 2020
In 1820, four Chamberlain brothers left New England to work along the Gatineau R., Canada. Josiah and John stayed. Leonard vanished. Thomas (1799-1868) settled in Dayton, married Catherine Hellrigle (or Helligler). Thomas and Catherine's children were: Robert (aka Rufus), Andrew, Thomas A., Noble, Mary, Jacob and Parker. (Robert, Andrew and Noble served in the Civil War). Many grandchildren. Thomas Sr. and Catherine are buried at Woodland Cemetery.
There are 56+ Josiah and John descendants, affectionately calling ourselves "Chamberlain Descendants...Chasing History." We need to find a Thomas descendant to help us solve a history mystery -- finding proof of who the parents were of those four brothers. Family Bible notations and cemetery records lead us to Merrimack, New Hampshire.
Do you have Chamberlain/Chamberlin, Hellrigle or Kritzer on your family tree? Please contact Laurel (1-604-980-7429) or lgurnsey@telus.net

Query: EMMONS - Ebenezer and John - Rcvd: 27 Aug 2019
1820 census records for German Township, Montgomery County show Ebenezer Emmons and family. Ebenezer was born in NJ and returned to Monmouth County NJ in 1821. He served in the War of 1812, however, it does not appear he had bounty land when he resided in German Township with other NJ families. There is potential that he and his family accompanied NJ REV WAR soldier John Emmons, perhaps his father, and returned to NJ in 1821 when John Emmons died.
If you can please share any information and detail regarding relationships between these former NJ residents it might help us resolve whether Ebenezer was a son of Rev War John Emmons.
Respectfully,
Glenn Soden, Columbus, OH soden@aol.com

Query: Seeking Copy Photo Advise - Rcvd: 18 Apr 2019
I am copying a good deal of information on paper by photocopying, using a camera and copy stand.
I would like to learn the best method(s) for lighting the material which is laying flat on the copy stand. Currently, I am relying on light from a northern window, but would like supplemental lighting for gray days and evenings. I have some small spots with 5,000K bulbs that came with a cheap photo/light tent. They do not put out enough light and brighter lights would require diffusers. Are LEDs better than incandescent bulbs?
Query: HERSHKOWITZ, HERSH - Rcvd: 23 Mar 2019
As the family genealogist, I heard that in the early 1900's my great grandfather, Jacob Hershkowitz (name was shorted to Hersh, but not sure of the time) was arrested for allegedly stealing merchandise from one of the railroad cars in Dayton.
I have not been able to document this from research on the internet so am hoping you might have access to other sources for me. I was told that he had a lawyer who got him off as the judge ordered Jacob and his family to get out of Dayton ASAP.
Any assistance you can provide me is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in Advance,
