Genealogy has become a hobby for me over the last 10 years. For me, it's like a puzzle, I love fitting the pieces together. But over the years, I've researched a lot that does not pertain to our family lines. Some for extended family, some for close friends, and some because I was trying to rule out lines to figure out where our line went exactly. I do not want these notes on my Heather's Genealogy Notes blog - because they are not our lines. But I do like to share all of my research, in case it benefits others. That is what this blog is for - research I have done that does not apply to our own family lines, but may be helpful for someone else.

In the 1880 schedule of the poor & indigent, we find Catherine Leitle, Buffalo Twp, Union County
It appears to state that she has 3 sons, 4 daughters, and 1 brother



Research:
Elizabeth Lytle 1830-1914 married Elias Mook.  Elias & Elizabeth's son John Mook married Mary Alice Oberdorf (daughter of Alexander & Sarah (Lytle) Aikey) after her first husband committed suicide.  

Elizabeth was the daughter of unknown & Catherine (Marshall) Leidle)  The way these familied intermarried, there's likely to be some connection, but I haven't had much luck tracing the Lytle's at all. 

 In the Mazeppa cemetery, where Elias Mook is buried, there is a listing for an infant death - Death: William Lytel, Apr. 21, 1864
Inscription: 12 d; s/o John & Sarah
