They cover a time period of 1801 thru July of 1836. The first marriage was found in Fairfield County in November 1800 (Recorders Office, Deed Book A). A license is not recorded for all marriages and marriage returns are not available for all licenses issued. (It worked the same as today. You obtained a marriage license and then after the marriage was performed, the pastor, Justice of the Peace, etc. was supposed to send the marriage info back to the probate Court.) Please remember that this list is not a primary source. It is only an index and not necessarily complete. Check the original marriage licenses and records in the Probate Court and Recorder's Office. Spellings are also questionable............. I have broken the marriage pages up into 3 pages but they will still take time to download, please be patient. http://www.fairfieldgenealogy.org/research/swain1.html MERIDITH, THOS.-ELIZ.

Jack, I found these surnames from the DNA letter sent by Ron. These names are from the Pedigree Chart of MEREDITH, Thomas Chalkley. Good luck, Jerry http://members.aol.com/CGSys2/NXCtM1.html Indiana Newspaper Search Number of Entries by Surname CompuGen Systems P. O. Box 15604 Fort Wayne, IN 46885 Return to Indiana Newspaper Search Main Page. The Indiana Newspaper Search database contains vital records for the following surnames. Most entries are from the last 50 years and entries from both current and back issues of Indiana newspapers are being added to the database daily. Your search listing may contain additional entries that have been added since this list was made. For a complete explanation of the Indiana Newspaper Search service, return to the Indiana Newspaper Search Main Page.

With the size of these databases, something will undoubtedly be found unless your surname is very rare or they were not in Indiana or Ohio. The chances of finding something for a specific individual are not as high, but still quite possible. You can check the number of entries and earliest entry for your surname(s) in the Indiana Newspaper Search database. Just select the first letter(s) of the surname and find your surname on the list. These counts are for the Indiana newspapers only. We hope to add the counts from the Ohio database soon. Keep in mind that most entries are from the last 50 years and some people and events may have more than one entry. Also, variant spellings can be combined onto one report. | A | BA-BL | BM-BZ | CA-CI | CL-CZ | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | MA-ME | MF-MZ | N | O | P | Q | R | SA-SI | SJ-SZ | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z Can't we get all this from the Internet? Many Indiana and Ohio newspapers have sites on the Internet and some even include some of the vital records, but these are typically for the current day only. A couple have a few years worth of back issues available to search for a fee. Nowhere on the Internet can you get an index to vital records like the INDIANA AND OHIO NEWSPAPER SEARCHES. I ordered a surname search several years ago. Can I get a listing of what has been added for this surname since then? You may reorder a surname search at any time. You will receive a full report which lists what was found at the earlier date and what has been added since. If you received one more than a year or two ago, there will probably be quite a few more entries listed. The database has approximately doubled in size since 1992. The fee to reorder a listing for a surname you have already ordered is one-half the current search price ($10 for most surnames, $15 and $25 for more common names). Is this index available at the Fort Wayne library? No, these databases are not available at any library or anywhere else. Do you really index the "fine print" lists of birth, divorces, etc. from the big papers like THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR and SOUTH BEND TRIBUNE? Yes, the complete daily statistics such as the births, marriage licenses, death certificates from all papers, even the large ones are included in the database. Where do you get all the newspapers you index? We have subscriptions to several of the current papers and have some helpers saving and/or indexing other current papers. We use microfilm to index the back issues and in some cases we buy or get access to collections (large and small) of original papers. The subscriptions and microfilm are expensive and the money received from searches is used to buy more papers and microfilm to expand the project. Is this type of service available for any other states? This service is very unique and currently available only for Indiana and Ohio newspapers. Go to List of Indiana and Ohio Newspapers Indexed.

Happy good Saturday morning Paul, I am responsible. I found your query about MEREDITH (while attempting to help any folks looking for their ancestors). I submitted your query to Ronhm@aol.com and other folks interested in this surname. Ronhm@aol.com is coordinator of the MEREDITH/MERIDETH (+ many other ways to spell this great surname) DNA p rogram. Hope this finds you well and I want you to know that somewhere out there exists a relative or two maybe to fit into your family line? If I can help your search...Please ask.... Jerry Bluchp56@aol.com P.S. The administrator for the MEREDITH-L Rootsweb.com site is Carolynjudith@wmconnect.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The following explains the DNA program from Ronhm@aol.com : All, I have just started a surname project at familytreedna.com for the Meredith surname and all it's various spellings. The project is to encourage as many Meredith males as possible to have their Y DNA tested. Females do not carry Y DNA but may participate if they have a father, brother, uncle or male cousin with the Meredith surname that can be tested. In Brief, Y DNA is passed unchanged from father to son to grandson to great grandson, etc. Testing a group of Merediths will identify those who share or do not share a common paternal ancester. There is much information on DNA testing available at: http://www.familytreedna.com/ Those who order a test thru the surname project will receive a group rate of $99.00 for a 12 marker test which seems to be adequate to identify a match. The 12 marker test can be upgraded to 24 or 37 markers later if a match occurs and you desire to try to improve the estimate of how many generations in the past a common ancestory occurred. A group rate is also offered for the 24 & 37 marker tests. To order a test & join the project go to: http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=M62154&special=True I have already had my DNA tested. I had 24 markers tested & paid full price. (ouch) After all that I failed to match 6 other Merediths who have been tested. Hoping to find a match someday to help climb my "Brick Wall". Ronald Merideth ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Paul, I added the note(s) (listed below) to attempt to furthur explain what happens in Meredith-L Rootsweb.com A site to help others find their ancestors.

Biography The son of John and Alice E Meredith of 14 Redland Road, Malvern Link; at the time of his death, Albert Meredith was engaged to Miss Lily Cole of Leigh. The following obituary was printed in the Malvern News on 3/7/15: “Pte Albert John Meredith, eldest son of Mr and Mrs John Meredith of 14 Redland Road, Malvern link has died of wounds received while on patrol duty. He was aged 25, and when War broke out was employed by Messrs Towndrow & Co, grocers of Malvern Link. Some years ago he served in the Malvern Battery of Artillery. Last September he joined the Malvern Chums Company and went to the front a week before Easter with the 8th Battalion of the Worcestershire Regiment. He was a member of the Mens Own Brotherhood and sympathetic reference was made to his death at the meeting of the Brotherhood last Sunday afternoon. “Lieutenant-Colonel Peake sent the following letter to Mr and Mrs Meredith, dated June 23rd: “I very much regret to inform you that your son, of this Battalion, died of wounds received in action at 7.40 pm last night. He was shot by a stray bullet the night before while out on a patrol: it pierced his abdomen. When he left here for the Field Ambulance he was cheery, and suffering very little pain, but died at Hospital in Bailleul the next evening. He was buried in the civil cemetery there this morning. I very much regret his loss, as he was a good soldier, and I am sure must have been a good son to you. You have my sincerest sympathy in your loss, which is, I am sure, shared by all your son’ s comrades.” To read the other tributes paid to Albert Meredith, click here
