Shar Pearce replied to Michael Alan Lewis's discussion 'Butler County Information' in the group SouthWest Ohio
I tried to reply to your posting, but think it went to someone else.
I am interested in a couple of Lewis names out of NJ and possibly Hamilton Co., OH. I research this area along with southeastern IN - I ignore the state line between…

Shar Pearce commented on Lori Deible Chaffin's group 'SouthWest Ohio'
Lori,
