Re: Surname BELSER - Logan County, Ohio - circa 1930

Otis -

I came across your posting while searching the Belser name.I do have the name Belser in my family tree, however I don't have a connection to the one you listed.Mine were in the New England states.

I wasn't sure if you had this information...or if this was the Joseph Belser that you have listed, but the age and location seemed right so I thought I'd send this along in case you didn't have it.
