This is from the ever useful Tazewell County (IL) Genealogical & Historical Society electronic newsletter. I tried this site about a month ago. As Mike says, the big advantage is convenience. However, for those who aren't experienced in chosing the keywords for keyword searches it is heaven sent. No guarantee there is information about your ancestors on the web of course [particularly if they were on the same UFO some of mine came in on] and, of course, EVERYTHING you find on the web should be verified with a real source. Cheryl Rothwell HYPERLINK "mailto:[email protected]"[email protected] Logan County ILGenWeb HYPERLINK "http://www.rootsweb.com/~illogan"www.rootsweb.com/~illogan Central IL Regional Coordinator, ILGenWeb Clark, Downing, Harding, Lucas, et al New Genealogy Search Site Appears This new Web site proclaims: This free site will help you use Google™ to research your genealogy. It will create different Google searches using tips or "tricks" that will likely improve your search results. The different searches will give you many different ways of using Google to find ancestry information on the Internet. Just provide what you know about an ancestor and the site will set up the best searches for you, based on what you enter. The Genealogy Search Help site offers fill-in fields for the desired ancestor's first and last name, father's name, mother's name and spouse's name. Other fields include place of birth and place of death. Obviously, you fill in only the information you have and leave the remaining fields empty. I decided to try the site and compare it side-by-side with a regular search for the same names on Google. I first entered one of my "end of line" ancestors' names, a person whose parents are unknown to me. I only know his full name and place of death. The Genealogy Search Help site found several references to this person, but unfortunately, all those references were written by me, either in this newsletter or in online queries. I must say that I was not too surprised. I then picked a different ancestor, Samuel Harmon, born in 1709. This time I did have full information about his parents, spouse, and children. I simply used him as a test case. I entered his full name, spouse's name, and his place of death, but did not enter his parent's names. I wanted to see if the Genealogy Search Help site would find him. Indeed, it did. Several references to this person were identified, and most of them listed his parents' names. I attempted to conduct essentially the same search manually on Google. For those who are not familiar with Google's inner workings, this could be a challenge. Simply searching for Samuel Harmon resulted in 365,000 hits! For example, I found a present-day photographer in Ohio and a realtor in Virginia, both named Samuel Harmon. There were many others as well. I narrowed the search by typing "Samuel Harmon genealogy." This time I "only" received 22,000 hits. I next went to Google's advanced search page at HYPERLINK "http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en"http://www.google.com/advanced_ search?hl=en and experimented for a while with other terms, such as his wife's name and the town where he died. Indeed, I did eventually narrow the search to the point where almost all the "hits" were related to my ancestor, Samuel Harmon. So what does the Genealogy Search Help site offer that Google does not? The answer is one word: convenience. The Genealogy Search Help site does not find any data that you cannot find by yourself on Google. However, it does help you quickly narrow your focus in what would otherwise be an ocean of data. This service is especially good for Google novices who have not yet learned to use Google's more advanced features. I will caution you that you still will want to conduct searches the old-fashioned way, both on Google and elsewhere. The new Genealogy Search Help site is a convenience, but not a definitive tool. If you do not find your ancestor using the new search tool, try again and again elsewhere. Webmasters will note that there is a capability to build ancestor search pages into your own Web site by cutting and pasting a few lines of HTML code. The Genealogy Search Help site is supported by advertising, and there seem to plenty of ads to go around.

I want to thank everyone who has responded to my inquiry regarding migrations from Ohio counties to Logan County, IL in the 1800's so that I may further a more concentrated search for the birth of my gggrandmother in Ohio around 1804. This mailing list has really been an asset for those of us having ancestors who lived in Logan County, IL before 1857, when the courthouse burned.

I had a DERR family who moved from Logan Co., OH to Logan Co., IL about 1843.

Mine seem to have come from Wayne and Carroll counties to Wayne county IL and then on to Logan county. Susan Selders Evans Miller, Hart, Brown; Broughton, Busby, French; Selders, Ross, English, Schneider

HI, My Morris and related families came from Ross, Clark and Madison Co's., OH in the mid to late 1850's, some by wagon, some by train, to DeWitt and Logan Co's., IL. The first train came through Logan and DeWitt counties in 1854. There seem to have been many families from Logan Co., OH [Bellefontaine] who moved on to DeWitt Co, but that was after the Civil War. Michelle Rush

Hi, I have families coming out of Meigs and Columbiana and Stark Counties in Ohio to Illinois in the 1830's and 1840's. In the early 1850's they were coming out of Athens County, Ohio to Logan Co. Illinois. Good Luck, Lois

Mine came from Pike, Pickaway, Madison and Greene predominately. However, and this is likely true for your ancestors also given the dates you have, they were only in Ohio less than one generation. They got there, were there for 10-20 years, and moved on. The Ohio Genealogical Society can be useful. They have a web site.

My great-grandfather, William Semple, came from Hamilton Co., Ohio prior to 1880, when he is listed on the federal census in Logan Co. Have had zero success in finding any kind of trace of him there, however. Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has had success researching there. Some of his children were born there, and his first wife, Nancy Roxborough, died prior to 1880 - not sure if she died in Logan Co. or Hamilton Co., OH but have never found a death record for her in Logan so I assume she died in Ohio.

I had numerous families in Pickaway, Pike, and Ross counties who migrated to Illinois. Pike wasn't formed until 1815 [from Ross, Scioto, and Adams] so I would suggest you begin with Ross County. Pickaway was formed in 1810 from Ross, Fairfield, and Franklin. Scioto was formed in 1803 from Adams. Adams was formed in 1797 from Hamilton. Hamilton was an original county and formed in 1790. All of the mentioned counties are in southern Ohio. Good luck.

Hello the list! I am still looking for sources, recollections and descendants of George F. BENNETT and his wife, Orpha A. MARSH. George was born in Vermont in 1836, was in Ohio in the 1860 and 1870 censuses, but was a miller at Atlanta, Logan Co., in 1880. He was living in 1910 in Lawrence, KS, with a son, Frederick M. Bennett, a Unitarian clergyman. George died later that year; his wife had died in 1904. Since they had lived in Atlanta, I'm wondering if they and family members might have been buried in Atlanta. Other children in the family were Arthur, Nellie, Alfred, Orpha, Austin, Georgiana and Martha. Frederick and Georgiana were University of Illinois graduates, and Georgiana became a school teacher in Chicago. Martha married John O. Miller and lived in New Mexico and California. All help appreciated in locating information about these long-lost cousins. Thanks, Corban Goble, Bowling Green, KY.
