The Family History Centers for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) has some computer and resource records that are not available on the internet. Namely, there are the military records on cd-rom, 100% of the International Genealogical Index (I.G.I.) on cd-rom, and other discs that the FHC might have according to what their budget is and the demand from patrons. All FHC's have a variety of books, microfiche, and microfilms depending on what has been donated to them and what they have room for. At our FHC (I work there every Wed. from 1 to 5 pm) in Tampa, Florida at 4106 E. Fletcher Ave (813-971-2869) across from the University of South Florida, we're blessed to have a lot of information and a good size library. We have a lot of info. on the southern states and a smathering of info. on other states throughout the U.S. and world. Please check out our church website at www.familysearch.com/Eng/Library/FHL/frameset_library.asp for the FHC info. in your area. There is a search screen for you to look it up. The best part is that you can order Microfilm for $3.25 for the first 30 days, plus $3.25 for an additional 60 days and then for a final $3.25 it is on indefinite loan at your FHC for yours and others use, permanently. Microfiche is on indefinite/permanent loan with your original order, you don't have to renew and it doesn't have to be sent back. The prices for the Microfiche vary and the FHC can give you the fees based on the bundle of fiche in a packet. Please ask the library volunteer to check the computer before you order any films. Sometimes a film is in the center and they may not have it listed. Now, the price of the Microfilm order may vary throughout the world. I don't know if this is the standard rate or if it vary's by area and postage as well. Please don't hold me to those prices, that is what they are in Tampa, Fl presently! Also, FYI, I have ordered the marriage index for Cuyahoga County, Ohio on film for indefinite/permanent loan. I have the years of 1906 through, I believe, 1916. I'll have to double check. If you would like me to do a "free-look up" on a name, on the index, I would be happy to help you when I have the time to do so. I need the 1) THE FULL NAME OF THE **WOMAN** (**MAIDEN NAME**) AND MAN, AND 2) THE APPROXIMATE YEAR OF MARRIAGE, please narrow it down to one or two years if possible. The index gives the Volume Number of the book of record and the number of their marriage. This provides a much easier way to search for the actual record on microfilm and/or order the certificate from Vital Records. Please be patient though, it may take me some time to look them up for you. I will do my best to work in a timely manner. Take care and God bless. I hope that this gives you some info. on the FHC's. After you've exhausted the internet, that's when the real digging comes in and you need to order films and fiche for more information. Please let me know if I can help you! Keep up the good work!

Ginny I did finally hear from the CPL. They want $5 to simply look at a single roll. Then they want .10 per page. Since my request was a large one, they wanted a deposit of $150 to start. Guess not.

By the way, I was in Cleveland, Ohio this summer and went to the Cleveland Public Library on Superior. I found that the City Directories were a huge help. They helped me find my Great-Great-Grandfather and the Necrology (Obits.) films were an awesome source. If you can travel to Cleveland sometime, it's worth it's price! Parking is scarce though so plan on a walk. The librarians were very helpful, I know that while I was there, the phone rang off of the hook with requests. They are very, very busy.

Does anyone know anything about the CLEVELAND PROTESTANT ORPHAN ASYLUM on St. Clair Street? Thank you. K. Island

Sharon, No connection that I know of. The family I'm looking for was FLYNN who lived in Painesville. Several months ago there was something on the Rootsweb site (either Cuyahoga or Lake County's) about this orphanage that was in Painesville. My husband' great-grandmother (Catherine Mahoney Flynn) died in 1870, leaving seven children. Supposedly the records had been moved to Cleveland and I did call the number, left a message, and never got a reply, and then lost the original information I had. Thanks anyhow for your info. Maybe our ancestors also came in thru Canada, we don't know.

Bill and Peg, I too am searching of an orphanage in Ohio.... Mine used to be called St Anne's Foundling home on the Eastside of Cleveland. Came to find out it had a fire. Having difficulty getting information. My mother was adopted out of there, born 3/27/24.... named Mary Elizabeth Smith at birth.... Any connection or ring a bell? The only thing I have been able to learn (don't know if its right or not, supposedly my grandmother came from Port Rowan,Ontario before having my mother) Sharon

Anyone known where in Cuyahoga Co can be found the records or any information about an orphanage that was in Painesville, Lake Co, OH in the 1870s? When it closed supposedly the records were taken to the Cleveland area. It supposedly only took in girls, and somewhere I heard that my grandfather's sisters were placed there after their mother died leaving seven children.

Trying to get Karen King Hiatt's email address. She uses this web site often - the email address I have no longer works. Jim

I went to Cleveland recently and from information supplied on this list went to the Fairview Park Library. They have an extensive listing in the genealogy section. There are loose leaf binders with the streets listed and corresponding maps to identify the Enumeration Districts, I was able to print a copy of the microfilm of my family listing from the 1910 Census. Unfortunately the information for the 1900 Census was not as accurate. Hope this will be of assistance to all who need to track down Enumeration Districts in Cleveland.
