ROE family of Wilkins Run/Newark, Ohio
« on: Saturday 15 December 12 09:55 GMT (UK) »
Hi US friends :)

I recently bought an old photo album which has the name and address "Mary Roe, Wilkins Run, O" stamped in the front, and which is full of cartes-de-visite (almost all taken in Newark, Ohio) and tintypes dating from the 1860s to possibly the 1880s (I haven't fully analysed them yet).  None of the photos are named except for one, which is of a small child named George Roe.

I would love to be able to send scans of the photos (and maybe the originals) to interested family members, but would like some help trying to track down the right historical family.  Is anyone able to help with finding the ROEs in, for example, the census returns? 

I would really appreciate your help :)

Thank you!
Prue
