I have recently started researching my family history and with the aid of a volunteer named Nancy have discovered a great deal about my great grandfather, Curtis W. Kinney, born 1890 in Ohio.

I am seeking local records for several individuals, including births, deaths, marriages, and obituaries. If you have some free time and have access to these records, I would very much appreciate your help. I am also seeking a social security number for Curtis W. so that I can request his military records, as I believe he may have been drafted for WWI in 1917.

I am also asking on the Stark County forum.

The 1930 census says he is not a veteran, so perhaps he was not drafted. I am trying to get his social security number so I can verify this.
