Title: Thomas DAVIES(DAVIS)
Post by: roger1732 on Thursday 08 October 09 08:43 BST (UK)

Can anyone point me in the right direction as I am trying to find details of my family who lived in the US, from 1882-1898 in I believe the Ohio area, and are there any sites concerning deaths/births, as I believe one of the children died there, and three were born there. His details are Thomas and (Ann DAVIES.) Father and Mother. B.1849.and 1850, Llandybie, Camarthenshire, Wales. He was a Carpenter, and returned home and built two American style houses in Llandybie in 1898, the only ones in the UK, and are now Grade 2 listed.

There is a good list of death information for Ohio here:  http://www.deathindexes.com/ohio/index.html  Records weren't required state-wide in Ohio until 1908, so there's limited information available before then.

I'm assuming the address is 1024 Valley Street, Youngstown, Ohio...it is still an address today.  I looked it up on Google Maps
