------------------------------------------------------------------ FORWARDED MESSAGE - Orig: 24-Jan-99 10:20 Subject: [OHIO] Marriage Volume 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Allen Potts <allenp19@IDT.NET> Fellow researchers: Last night I uploaded the complete Volume 8 1874-1882 marriages for Marion County, Ohio. I hope that you will find this file helpful. The time to extract is information is 3 hours time for each year extracted, so the total was 24 hours time. For those interest I am in the process of scanning the 1880 Wyandot County History and hope to upload it to the site in next few months. I will also be working on Volume 9 Marion County Marriages. I would also like in time to extract other records from Marion, Morrow and Wyandot Counties. If anyone has extracts of county records and would like to share them other researchers they can up uploaded the both of the web site. The files would show you as the compiler and link your e mail address. I would like to those that receive this message more than once because this message will go to those on my list, Marion, Union and Wyandot County lists. Thanks again for your history and hope that this information proves helpful to you.

I will get to them but if I try to do it now it will be a disaster. (grin)I just wish it would get cold again.

Hi Everyone, I just got a fascinating area of the Ohio archives finished. These are the journals of Dr. William Lindsay and though they are very graphic they contain lots of surnames from the Preble County Ohio area and parts of Indiana. The URL is http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/oh/letters.htm so go and visit the culmination of 100 years of research by his family.

------------------------------------------------------------------ FORWARDED MESSAGE - Orig: 22-Jan-99 5:02 Subject: Re: [OHIO] State Library of Ohio ------------------------------------------------------------------ One of the very best sources of family information is the Ohio State Library. Write to them at State Library of Ohio, 65 Front Street, Columbus, OH, 43215 If you send them a family name and a county name (One family name and one county name per letter) along with a stamped, self-addressed envelope, they will check their indexes for that name in that county and will send you a listing of how many entries they found and what it will cost you to get photocopies of everything. They are extremely reasonable in their pricing and fairly quick with their replies. It's been a while since I used them, but I learned a great deal very quickly from them. You can also get information from the State Library of Ohio by sending the same request of one name per county per letter (as described above) to this e-mail address: <ancestor@winslo.state.oh.us> . Of course, remember to put your name, etc. in the request. They will notify you if they find anything and send you a form online that you print out, sign, and send with a check or money order to the Library address. They tell you how much is owed at the top of the letter usually. Your copies will come in manila envelopes---no need for SASEs. I myself have had good luck with them, though their repsonse time does vary (perhaps due to the time of the year you write)---I have had some VERY fast and good help from them, as well as some slower, but equally as helpful, responses. So, it might be worth a try, anyway. I find it very useful as I have little chance of getting anywhere on my own to research most of the time. Good luck to you!

That helps clear things up, I think I can post my towns page now.... I talked to some members this past Tuesday at our meeting, and they said Fishack was once a little community back in in the Gypsum Mines days... "Fishack,was part of Portage Township years ago.This was a little spot on the back waters of East Harbor, Flowing back towards Port Clinton.Back in this little area were some small dwellings that consisted mostly of Black people.They were fishermen and the dwellings were very poorly constructed.So the Name "FISHACK" was because,Black People were noted fishermen and their homes, were what some would call shacks.This is to my understanding. I know this place existed about 50 years ago. I don't think there is any kind of artifacts left to mark this area. Things have change over the years." Thanks again for all of your help and your QUICK responses!!!
