Hello! Just found another online source for research in OH (and elsewhere): http://www.ohiohistory.org/webpac-bin/wgbroker?new+-access+top Just click on Online Collection Catalog, then go to Ohio History People Finder. I found this example by inserting the name Cook in the search field (there were many more): Title/Object: Civil War diary Author/Maker: Cook, James Calvin Date: 1862 Feb. 12-Mar. 31 The area looks promising so I wish you luck, Jo-Ann Stephens Bahai@netusa1.net
