Hi, Have you all been to the FHC to see what is in the Locality File? I found the tax records and deeds very interesting. The federal census is every 10 years, but they paid taxes every year. Deed Indexes, Probate courts. Have you looked at the books that Athens County History and Museum? They are very active and have a lot of books for sale. I have just a few listed on my site and the link to their web site. This is my OHGenWeb site at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohathens/ Put your queries and stuff and see if we can find something.
