Hello & Welcome Quo Poe,

Wonderful to hear of you continuing your education.......and in a field you enjoy.

Questions
Links to other FPOC families?....Yes, I'm connected to FPOC families in Ohio from 1816. They are primarily in western Ohio.... Champaign, Clark, Miami & Shelby counties. We've also have made contact with my wife's FPOC families from southeastern Ohio, mainly Athens & Washington counties.

Discovery of other researchers thru AfriGeneas?.....Yes, two special people, cousins and regular posters to AfriGeneas, Denise Oliver-Velez & Irita (Goins) Canady, and thru my Home Page (URL below) at least 1/2 dozen relatives and collateral family. Check the HP Index of Surnames.

Surnames?.....Lomac(k)/Lomax, Pettiford & Scott are names I'm familiar with as FPOC's in my Ohio research. They all originated from the NC/VA areas.

Again, welcome and wishing you much success in your educational endeavors.

Art Thomas
