Title: Duro family, Pennsylvania & Ohio
Post by: David Hankey on Tuesday 15 January 13 13:09 GMT (UK)
I know there are Duro family members whose ancestors came from Derbyshire, England. I would be delighted to hear from anyone who is descended from Eric who married Florence H. Robinson in Stark County, Ohio or Harold who married Maude Morley but to name just two.

There must be many more out there with variations on the spelling of the surname as Duro, Duroe, Durow

I look forward to hearing from anyone who can help fill the numerous gaps in.

Regards, David

Hi, Sandra,

That's him, well at least one of them. I've also found 6 children to date so I'm hoping for more ancestry contacts as there must be hundreds of them out there.

Thanks again.

Its difficult to know what information you have already - Harold and Maude appear to have just 1 son by 1920 (John born 1912 Pennsylvania) Does not appear to be married in 1940.

Hello Kelley,
Eric was my Grandad Richard Duro's brother (so he was my great uncle).
I have a few photos of Eric and Flo visiting my gran and grandad here in Yorkshire.
I also have photos of Erics parents,Richard and Priscilla Duro.
I have got back 7 generations to Francis Duro born 1736.
Who was your grandad Duro? Are you still a Duro. (I am)
Hope to hear from you, Alison

My granddad was Raymond, Eric and florance's son.. it is wonderful to meet you, I was hoping to come across any relative still in England as my family will be visiting there soon. My father's name was Norman, Raymond's first and only son..

I am just beginning my genealogy journey so I am just starting to put the major pierces together and fill in children and descendants of all the direct linear lines. I would love to chat more
