HELMAN posted by Robin Helman on Friday, January 19, 2001

We are seeking information about the HELMAN family as well as information on the Methodist Episcopal Church (now the Church of the Nazarene) in Rowsburg. This Church was built by John HELMAN in 1854. We have pictures taken a couple years ago, but would like old pictures/postcards, before it was changed, as well as pictures of the street around it.

CARNAGEY, GRAHAM posted by Lori on Saturday, January 20, 2001

I have a relative, Sarah Carnagey, who married George Washington Graham (year unknown). Their daughter, Alta Mae Graham, was born in 1898, so I think I can assume that Sarah was born between the late 185o's to the 1870's? It seems that a lot of Carnageys from the Loudonville/Ashland area moved to Missouri. Alta Mae was born in Sullivan County, Missouri. Sarah Carnagey is my gg- grandmother. I would love to hear from anyone who has information on this family.
