Pioneer Genealogies: Standard pedigrees will be created of names found in Summit County Cemeteries, and other pertinent information as it becomes available, will be posted. Unless otherwise noted, all genealogies have been written and provided by Ancestral Journeys, Summit County's only genealogical research service.
