As I used this census, I thought NR meant Not Recorded and that seemed to be the case. Although the format is confusing, it was worth the time. I did locate some long lost family members!

Many thanks to listers Lynne and Bill for the information on Epworth Park. It is greatly appreciated. Nancy in TN Researching: WOOD, McDONALD, CURTIS, RYLAND, McGUIRE, RIGGS

I think you will find that NR means not related to the head of the household. Which brings up another disturbing aspect of that 1910 census which is online. Instead of "hd" being interpreted as "head of household" it is giving every head the title of "husband." Along with that error, you will even see the first child listed as "wife".....Very disturbing... Kay... Sw Ohio.

Barbara gave a fine report on the Park but her directions should be reversed. The Park is west of St.Clairsville and east of Barnesville. Bill O'Neil.

Someone wrote and asked where Epworth Park is. I thought maybe the whole list might like to know a bit more about it. Epworth Park is in Bethesda, OH. About 10 miles or so east of St. Clairsville and 7 west of Barnesville off of SR 26 behind the Methodist Church and adjacent to the city park. The United Methodist Church owns the property and folks can buy the cottages and pay assessments to the park. In its day, they tell me that there were huge camp meetings there. There is a large amphitheatre in the middle of it that will seat about 500 or more people. The cottages surround the amphitheatre. It used to have cabins where the Epworth League would come to have camp in the summer. There is a nice lake in the midst of it and my mom remembers having enough girls at camp to circle the lake with candlelight. I've seen pictures of Epworth League meeting there in the 1920's. Today the park is beautiful, but used much less. The highlight of the year for the park now is Chataqua (spelling - sorry) It's always the 2nd weekend in July and folks come from all over to hear music, walk through the park, enjoy the quiet, see some of the history, etc. Visit me online: http://lynne.homepage.com RESEARCHING: Meyer, Modranski, Crossley, Calhoun, Pyles, Yocum, Nutter, Calvert, Teeman, Mason, Burton, Rinehart, Yoho, Postlethwaite, and many others in WV, PA and OH ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

Jackie, I found the same listing for my Father. In checking the original 1910 Census he was listed under the age column as 6/12, meaning that he was 6 months old, which was correct. I think the "NR" designation was given to all infants under one year of age. As for the "OHIO" that refers to the State where they were born. I would also advise folks to use every conceivable misspelling they can think of for the name they are looking for. My grandfather started out with the name SLAT when he came to this country. For reasons unknown to me, he seemed to add a letter to the name about every 10 years until it went from Slat >Slatt>Shlatt>Schlatt...where he stopped adding letters. For the 1910 era he was using the name SLAT. I found them on the Census with the name SHELTT.... not even close!!! Between the Census Takers poor spelling and drippy ink pen and the person transcribing from poorly visible microfilm, it could end up misspelled in ways you never thought possible.

For those looking at Quakers in Belmont, I have on my site the book "Our Ancestors the Stantons." Thought not completely on-line due to the amount of time it takes to scan this tome, it does include references and genealogy information for many Quaker families in Belmont, Jefferson and Guernsey counties. Some of the surnames included from these counties are: STANTON, BAILEY, BUNDY, CLENDENON, DAVIS, DAWSON, DOUDNA, HODGIN, PATTEN, PATTERSON, SEARS, and VERNON. I am working at remodeling the site to add the pictures and scans of the various lithographs, maps and other documents included in the book. Those should be done soon and then I will continue to add more of the book. If you do not find anything on these families there yet, bookmark the site and come back occasionally. This is a work in progress and has taken a few years to get to the point where it is at. Lot's of information and it all has to be added in my spare time so please be patient. In the meantime I will be happy to look up what I can on the above surnames if you cannot find it in what is already online. There will also be a functioning query page soon so people can add information on these families that does not appear in the book or that appears incorrectly. You can go directly to the index of the book at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mysong/stanton/oats_index.html I have not yet connected my Stanton ancestor to this family so please do not ask me for information on the Stantons except for those included in the book which descend from Robert Stanton of RI. I am familiar with the other lines but have not done much research as I do not know which line I descend from yet. Hope this helps some of you.

Thanks for posting this! I don't always read every post and I'm glad I didn't miss this one. I have sent the link on to quite a few folks who might find it of interest. For anyone who might be able to use this tip: I am researching an entire population of immigrants from a particular village in Italy most of whom settled in one town in Ohio. So it was helpful for me to search under a city name and Italy for instance, Wooster Italy) or a county name and Italy. This was particularly helpful since most of the names were misspelled in the census information.

Yes, Epworth Park is still in existance. There aren't the revivals and such as there used to be back 100 years ago, but they do have vespers services all through the summer. There are still many many cottages there and a cottage owners association. Write stcdist@1st.net and ask who to contact regarding the park. There is also a mission and retreat center in the park, "Epworth Center." They send mission teams out into the area to help low income homeowners with repairs that would otherwise be impossible. Plus it's a terrific place for reunions, retreats, get-togethers, etc. Contact them at epworthcenter@juno.com God bless, Lynne Visit me online: http://lynne.homepage.com RESEARCHING: Meyer, Modranski, Crossley, Calhoun, Pyles, Yocum, Nutter, Calvert, Teeman, Mason, Burton, Rinehart, Yoho, Postlethwaite, and many others in WV, PA and OH ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

Doris, 1. Ancestry.com on their main page lists databases. Their is one on Ohio land records and you plug in your surname and it will list them out with a year of purchase and list the district. 2. I learned that an ancestor had a small farm in Washington County, Ohio and the county tax assessor's office had records of all deeds dating back to the original purchase from the government. They provided me with a bunch of area landowner maps and, even plotted my ancestors farm on the map. All for $14 and that included shipping. So... So this helps. Don of Dallas

Hi, I found a way around this. Go to file and edit page and it should pop up another window with the tables of who is with who. You can also print from this page. Good luck Joan Valerie wrote: > I have found one problem though with this site. The relatives listing on the right is not aligned perfectly with the household name. You can't tell who goes with whom.

Hello, I was looking at the 1910 census for Ohio (Ancestry.com) and found what I believed to be my family. I have been looking for a Charles Adam MARSH. I found an Adam MARSH in Wheeling with 95% of the info matching my Charles Adam MARSH. In the 1900 census he was married to a Jessie MARTIN and had three children(James, Fern E. and Lamont). I have found him again in the 1910 census, listed as Henry A. MARSH (age 38) with Jessie (39) and the following children: James (16), Fern E. (13), Lamont (11), Elmer (5), and Melvin (1). Does anyone have an index or have a way to see if they made it to the 1920 census ? He may be listed as Adam, Henry, or Charles MARSH. Did they split up? Maybe he just up and left?? Perhaps she died? Maybe someone may have a death index and could check for Jessie MARSH? The 1920 could prove or disprove that I am actually related to this family. I have hunted for this man for about 15 years and finally found something that I think may fit, but I need more proof. Does the library have an index or a copy of the 1920 census? Thank you so much for your time and patience. I really appreciate it.

I have found one problem though with this site. The relatives listing on the right is not aligned perfectly with the household name. You can't tell who goes with whom.

Hello, My early Belmont County ancestor owned land close to St. Clairsville in the early 1800's. After the death of my gr. gr. gr. grandfather in 1815, there are numerous legal records regarding the disposal of this land. However, where should I try to find the records that would tell about his acquisition of the land he owned? If he got this land in this time period where is it likely that his ownership would be recorded? Help and suggestions would be appreciated. Doris

http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/2064/ If you get on this site and scroll down to Quakers, you will find a lot of information.

Here are my Belmont Co. Quakers. Mary Bailey Hicks came as a widow with her family of six children from Sussex Co. VA. to Belmont Co. OH in 1808. Her son Asa married Anna Cox, ( The daughter of John and Rachel Stubbs Cox, from Milledgeville, GA , Came to Belmont Co.early 1800's ) They were married 1815. Asa and Anna Cox Hicks started to move to Washington Co.IL in 1837. Asa was trampled to death by run away horses and wagon. He is buried in a Quaker Cemetery in Bloomingdale IN. Anna took her family on to Washington Co., where she lived out her life. Asa and Anna's daughter Eleanor (Ellen) stayed behind in Belmont Co. and married out of the faith to James Campbell. They were my great grandparents. Their daughter Ruth Campbell married my grandfather James Hardesty. Vera Morgan Knowlton knowlton1@compulinx-net.net
