What surnames are you interested in researching?: Packard, Reed, Reynolds, Nave, McKee, LeSourd/LeSueur, Marshall, Rhodes

What countries and other locations are you interested in researching?: Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Quebec, Suffolk

If you are a genealogy expert, what are your specialties?: I never claim to be an expert. My father-in-law's definition of "expert" is: "Ex" is a has-been, and a "spurt" is a drip under pressure.

However, I am a genealogical speaker and writer.

Do you have a genealogy website or blog?: http://karenaboutgenealogy.blogspot.com

http://trees.ancestry.ca/tree/9182437/person/-841563370?ssrc=

This person lists Oscar's birthplace as Hamilton, Vermont - I didn't even think there was a place called Hamilton in VT....anyway, if you haven't seen this tree, it's worth having a look.

I noticed you are researching NAVE. I am also. I just started a group (hopefully it will grow).

If she died in Ohio, then she is in that Ohio Deaths database, somehow mis-transcribed.

Does your cemetery photograph provide a date of death?
At one point, I decided she must have died at Florida, but I didn't find an entry for her name in the Florida Death Index.

My note was a little criptic. Here's the link for FamilySearch Labs. It reports the results of a HUGE indexing and digitization effort! (FamilySearch Indexing.)
At Labs home page, click on Record Search, then on the USA in the map. From those records, scroll down to Ohio Deaths. I've attached a copy, but the presumably higher resolution image at the site might be easier to read. Noticed the village Lattasville was written in and then crossed out. --GJ

In my posting here,
I should not have called out the HOH, Elizabeth, as "Martin's mother," since that genealogical fact hasn't been proven. Sorry--GJ
