I am a retired sailor who grew up mostly in Ashtabula County, but also Trumbull and Geauga counties. I went to Geneva Schools fro 3rd thru 9th grade and then Pymatuning Valley/Ashtabula COunty Joint vocational schools for the last three years. I am currently gathering information from family and friends to include in an electronic genealogical Album (Family tree) that I am creating for my kids. All of my grandparents are gone now and My Dad has terminal bone cancer. I am trying to to make something that will give my kids a legacy and Ohio is part of that. I happened across the website while doing internet picture searches for different towns where I grew up. I want to be able to put picture, places and people to the stories I have told (Aaffectionately called Grandpa stories (of when I grew up in "Grandpa's" home.)) Some storiesmemories may only come back with pictures....I hope to return for a one week visit this time next year. I have contacted several old school mates or people still living in the area (via myspace etc) and many have volunteered to help if they can (what great charity still resides in OHio!).
