Akron City Directories 1871-1968
In finding other records a web site looking for dates was from Heritage Quest from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Of Course Ellis Island also finds much information on where they came from and went to.
In Search for my own grandfather and his family I had found so many from Penzance that I started to collect their names while a drive of twenty miles from Cleveland to Akron to look them up in huge books placed into a tiny closet in the records of Summit County. This was in 1999. Now in 2009 these records of Naturalization are on line for one to research. A lot easier and thru Ancestory.com can be had to print.
Here in town I find that typing into a search engine; Summit county naturalization 1850-1991 gets you to the web site.
Marriage records are five cents a copy however I am sure one could purchase thru mail if requested by mail….they will soon be on line as the volunteers are photocopying with a new grant obtained.
Summit County Chapter Ohio Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 2232 Akron, Ohio 44309.

A great web site for names out of Penzance area would be David Flaxman's site.
