I have run into a dead-end while trying to trace my ggg-grandfather.

William GRAHAM, Bn: 1794 Ireland; Di: 2 Jul 1867/1869 Auglaize Co. Ohio,
                Buried: Waynesfield, Auglaize, Ohio.

	Military: Enrolled in Captain Jehiel Gregory's Company, of Major
                  Daniel Womeldorff's Batallion, Ohio Militia, in the War
                  of 1812.
                  Pvt. GRAHAM Enlisted: 28 Jul 1813; Discharged: 3 Sep 1813
	Married:  7 Oct 1822 Guernsey Co. Ohio.
	Census:   1830 Monroe Twp. Guernsey Co. Ohio. Page 468.
                  Name spelled: GRAyHAM
                  1840 Union  Twp. Guernsey Co. Ohio. Page 093
                  1850 Union  Twp. Guernsey Co. Ohio. Page 311
                  1860 Union  Twp. Guernsey Co. Ohio. Page 396
	Died:     2 Jul 1867/1869
	Buried:   Fairmont Cemetary. South of Waynesfield Ohio.

William GRAHAM married Mary JOHNS(T)ON on 7 Oct 1822; Bn: Abt 1790 in
Ireland; Di: 20 Dec 1863 at Auglaize Co. Ohio. Buried: Same.
	Buried:   Fairmont Cemetary
        The marriage record in Guernsey Co. Court House has her name
        spelled Mary JOHNSTON.

ISSUE:
        To the best of my knowledge:
	Richard, Christopher, Mary, Charles, Barton, William

To the best of my knowledge he was Scotch/Irish.

I descend from Christopher.

I have searched the Court House and the Public Library in Guernsey Co. Ohio
and cannot find any more then shown above.  I have also looked at the
Immigrant Passenger lists to no avail.  I have also researched in Auglaize
Co. Court House and Libraries.

I do NOT know WHEN he came to America or HOW/WHEN he arrived in Guernsey
Co. Ohio.

I will be going to the Ft. Wayne Library on Nov. 19 to do more research.
Does anyone have any advice for doing research there?

Any information or directions of where to look will be most appreciated.

If you are interested you may call me at work on 513-445-6324 or send
email to pgraham@lfpd1.DaytonOH.NCR.COM or Paul.Graham@DaytonOH.NCR.COM.

Thank You in advance.

In my experience the age of people who are under 10 in the census seems to be
more accurate than the age given at the time of death. This seems to be
particularly true among females born around 1880 who married men who were
slightly younger than they were. There are a number of times where if I hadd
taken the dates that I was initially given I would have concluded that the
mother had children 3 months apart.

If anyone else sees anything odd in the list, surnames obviously
sorted out of place, surnames without nametags, whatever, don't
hesitate to let me know!  The list is getting so large that it

Has anyone on the net written to parish priests in Ireland for baptismal

Here is  a press release from the Vietnam Women's Memorial Project Inc.

 Vietnam Women's Memorial Project Kicks Off Countdown to Dedication
in 1993
 To: National and Assignment desks, Veterans Affairs writers
 Contact: Mary Beth Newkumet, 301-649-6565, or
          Diana Hellinger, 202-328-7253, for the
          Vietnam Women's Memorial Project Inc.

   WASHINGTON, Nov. 11  -- On Thursday, Nov. 12, the Vietnam 
Women's Memorial Project (VWMP) will kick off its countdown 
to dedication of the first memorial in the nation's capital to 
honor American military women.
   At a special ceremony in Washington, D.C. at 10 a.m. EST, National
Park Service Regional Director Robert Stanton will join veterans from
all over the country in marking the site of the approved memorial,
300 feet southeast of the statue of the three infantrymen on the
grounds of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
   After a ten-year grassroots effort, the Vietnam Women's Memorial
will be dedicated next year on Veterans Day (Nov. 11) during a
three-day "Celebration of Patriotism and Courage," Nov. 10 to 12,
1993, honoring the women who served.  Work on the approval design, a
bronze sculpture-in-the-round of three military women and a wounded
soldier, is currently underway in Santa Fe, N.M., by sculptor Glenna
Goodacre.
   According to VWMP founder and chair Diane Carlson Evans, R.N.,
excitement about the dedication is catching on all over the country.
"We get calls in the office every day now from men and women veterans
and their families asking for details so they can make their travel
arrangements.  Many people are saving up now to be able to come next
year.  We're thrilled with the response because we want them all
here."
   The VWMP must finish raising $2 million for the design,
construction, landscaping, perpetual maintenance fee for the memorial
and next year's dedication ceremonies.  Tax-deductible contributions
can be sent to the VWMP, 2001 S St., N.W., Suite 302, Washington,
D.C., 20009.  Vietnam women veterans are encouraged to send their
service information and current address to receive updates on
dedication events.

Hi, I can't take all the credit, I was just one of the troops who saw a need
and got enough people to vote for the creation of this group.  We all got to
hang together, or the politicians will forget us, sure as hell.

Every Veterans' Day and Memorial Day I *play* taps for absent friends.  I
set distrubtion world wide since I don't know of a family anywhere who hasn't
had a veteran in the family, close or distantly related.

The public is invited to attend the annual Rock Ceremony memorial service
conducted at The Ohio State University on Thursday 12 November 1992 at 
10:15 am.

The Rock Ceremony is a student-conducted event which appropriately honors
the men and women from The Ohio State University who have died in service
to their country, and the many thousands who served in the various conflicts
of this century and returned to continue their contributions to society.

The ceremony lasts approximately 15 minutes and consists of appropriate
remarks, placement of a wreath at the Veterans Rock located at the south-
west side of the administration building, 190 North Oval Mall, presentation
of military honors (firing squad and bugle rendition of TAPS), and an
ecumenical benediction.

Please join us in honoring our brother and sister military veterans who
have served our country proudly.

                            Heartless and hopeless,
                            Like an ice-water dagger
                            Welcomed me to the war.

                            The first night in Don's bunk,
                            With twelve months before me,
                            What was he thinking
                            The last time he lay here?

                            Was he dreaming of home,
                            Of his family and future?
                            Or did he lie awake knowing
                            That his time was too short?

                            Would some other new guy
                            Sleep here tomorrow,
                            Would he hear the same greeting,
                            "He won't need it again."

                            And each time I lay down
                            In the bunk of a stranger
                            A ghost whispered softly,
                            "One day at a time."

                            The last night in Don's bunk,
                            Twelve hours before me,
                            War safely behind me,
                            I said my goodbye.

                            I finally met Don
                            A half-lifetime later.
                            Panel 25E, Row 113,
                            I said my hello.
