Thanks to all of you who gave me advice on how to obtain my family's records from the Cleveland City Directories and further advised me on how to get information on their parish in Cleveland. I live in New Jersey so I can't really reciprocate, but I do have lots of stuff where I could do lookups for you. I have: 1850 census for all of Cuyahoga County. I am currently going through it line by line. I have finished with Cleveland proper and am now searching the other townships, but I could go back to do a lookup if I can find them in the index or if you have a citation (preferably page # or at least the Ward) 1870 census for Wards 4, 5, 6, and 7. If I ever finish with the 1850 census, I will be going through this one line by line also. If I can locate someone in the index, I will look them up right away. 1880 census ... I have the complete Index for the entire State of Ohio and the actual microfilm for Cleveland wards 4 - 12. 1900 census. I have the index and rolls 1252 and 1254 for Cuyahoga County (not sure what wards these are) 1910 census. I have the rolls 1166 and 1167 and will be purchasing more. I also have a lot of FTM Irish passenger lists as well as the Passenger lists for Philadelphia, 1800-1850; Baltimore, 1820-1852; and Boston, 1821-1850. For the Irish folks, I have the "Index to Griffith's Valuation, 1848-1864" and FTM CD# 275 "Irish Source Records, 1500s-1800s" The CDs are easy to check, the microfilm takes a little (maybe a LOT) longer... Thanks again for your kindness and advice. Janet in Hunterdon Co., N.J.
