John: I can't answer all your questions, but the genealogy collection is in the Doris Wood Branch of the Clermont County Public Library, 180 S. Third St., Batavia OH. Hours: Mon-Thu 9 to 9, Fri & Sat 9 to 5:30. The genealogy section is maintained by the Clermont Genealogical Society (P.O. Box 394 Batavia OH 45103-0394; voice mail 513-723-3423), which meets there the first Thursday of each month at 7:30 p.m. The library staff is small, and all research queries are referred to the Genealogical Society, where volunteers provide service as they are able. I do not know what newspapers they have in their collection, but they do have most, if not all, the Census records, a respectable collection on local history, and a vertical file of surnames. I have researched there twice, once in 1984, and again last summer. Depending on what you are looking for, you might want to save a little time for the County Recorder (101 E. Main St. - Mon-Fri 8:00-5:00) for land records, wills, etc; the Courthouse (76 South Riverside Dr. - Mon-Fri 8:30-4:30); and the Board of Health 2275 Bauer Rd. Suite 300 - Mon-Fri 8:30-4:30) where birth & death records after 1909 are kept. Use the search engine google.com and key in Batavia, Clermont Co. OH. for more information.
