2004 Swartz Genealogy AdventureWooster, Ohio

Just returned from a weekend of genealogical adventure in Wooster, Ohio. Cousin Barbara and I stayed at a beautiful Victorian B&B right next to the home where our ancestor Hiram B. Swartz and family lived from 1877 to 1939.

Highlights of the trip:

• Going up and inside the clocktower of the Wayne County Courthouse.

• Poking into rain-soaked grounds looking for fallen gravestones.

• The Giants of Seville.

• The Squirrel Orchestra.

• Lunch at The Smithville Inn.

• Touring Hiram B. Swartz's home.

• Leaving a message on a gravestone.

• Many other adventures. More photos.

Thanks, Cousin Barbara! Let's get some more Swartz descendants to join us next year in Granville -- we'll visit Denison University, and dig up some more relatives there!
