Any one from this forum have the last name Swartz or know of anyone by that last name in the state of Ohio? perhaps any descendents by that same last name? Would love to know if we are related. The name is spelled like I wrote it,,, no other way... There are others by that name all over, but how about in Ohio?

Spelling variants do not cause relatives to be unrelated.

Ya know, that may work with many names,, but I'm not aware that I am related to people with a bunch of extra letters in the name I gave. I'm probably related with everyone in the entire world,, in my case I'm sure like many others the spelling of a name sake is quite specific.
