Hi Connie , I found the records index for the Belmont County Childrens Home on microfilm (GR-3903) at the Ohio Historical Society in Columbus, Ohio: http://www.ohiohistory.org/index.html . The Home was located in Tacoma, North of Barnesville, and was open from 1880 to 1981. It was demolished in 1996. I have an old article about the Belmont County Children's Home from several years ago. The article contains an address where the records were located in St. Clairsville: The Belmont County Childrens Services Board 410 Fox Shannon Way St. Clairsville, Ohio 43950 Phone: 740-695-3813 Hope this is helpful!! Good luck with your search!

My mother was placed there from 1938 to around 1944. Her nephew and niece were both adopted from the home while she was living there. Any help would much appreciated. Connie
