This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ABB.2ACE/3432 Message Board Post: HAR is introducing a brand new CD product: 1868 Atlas of the State of Ohio. The 68 page atlas has been scanned at 400 dpi and presented in high quality Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). The viewing software, Acrobat Reader, is included on each CD. This is a departure from our other Atlas CD's in that it is more like an e-book than a series of 19th century county maps. There is quite a bit of statistical data and text in this product including sections on: Agriculture, Canals, Climate Map, Climatology, Colleges, County Evolution, Land Grants of Ohio, Geological Map, Geology, History, Schools and Seminaries, Post Offices, Railways, Statistics and Surveys of Ohio. This is an excellent snapshot of mid 19th century Ohio and is recommended for anyone interested in undertaking historical or genealogical research of this period. The Atlas contains multiple adjacent county maps that are useful for identifying 1868 transportation routes, railroads, canals and many early Ohio place names. The 25 city maps in the Atlas are much more detailed with many early government and industrial sites including: a variety of mills, cemeteries, churches, schools, asylums, fair grounds, race tracks, business locations, etc. A complete Table of Contents and examples taken from the Atlas can be viewed at the following link: 1868 Ohio Atlas web page: http://www.har-indy.com/oh_map/oh_index.html 1876 Indiana county maps: http://www.har-indy.com/in_map/in_index.html 1876 Illinois county maps: http://www.har-indy.com/il_map/il_index.html All are also available at our eBay store: http://www.stores.ebay.com/historicatlasseriesbyhar?refid=store Thanks for looking.

Are any of the members of this list also using a forum called Jesslist which an outfit called topica is trying to host? I was subscribed to the topica thing for about a day and then was dropped and now their "help" e-mail even bounces. Tbeckh, Mary Lou ***** and Terry ***** were helping me. With the help of some these Jesslist members, I have located the 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 entries for Jonas T. CORMAN and his wife, Margaret (ZIKE). But there still appear to be two sons who were given the same first name (Alphais, Alphes, Alphis). I would like to compare notes and data with anyone knowing about this family.
