Where did these people live and in what years they were there? I need to know which papers to check. If I put the name "Nathan Evans" in a search for ALL papers - I would have no idea if I were transcribing the correct Nathan.

Hiya Linda, Nathan Evans in particular. I have Nathan married to Elizabeth Jane Way (do not know who her parents are) and Susan M. Metcalf who married a Boze Loffland first (also do not know her parents). If you can find any info on the two wives in there it would be most appreciated. His third wife was Terzah Duvall...although I have some info am always willing to take more!

How disappointing that I can't post them! I guess the only way to deal with it for the moment is to send them to anyone who might be interested. Also, if anyone cares to send me the surnames of interest, I can keep a look out for them as I read. Betty Shinn has also said that she might post them on her website, so let's see if that happens. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to transcribe them at the moment. Hope I can find a way to share them. They are great little nuggets of info.

Have you thought about getting them scanned, edited, and posted to the Guernsey County GenWeb site? If the articles can be scanned, the digital files can be sent to those willing to edit the OCR files, and send them to the website. I'd be willing to some editing. That is, of course, if the Coordinator is willing to accept them. Just a thot.

Is there anyway you could post the titles of each of the 26 articles? Then we would know better if we should pursue this. betty ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Holley" <ljholley@comcast.net> To: <ohguerns@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2008 8:19 PM Subject: Re: [OHGUERNS] Local Historical Sketches >I have sat for the last 3 days and transcribed the ones for my > family.

I have sat for the last 3 days and transcribed the ones for my family. I would be glad to do a few lookups and transcribe them if anyone would be interested.

I have been doing the same thing in Lawrence Co. and Butler Co., PA. with the Newspaper Archives, The Godfrey Library, and CDs from Butler. I have transcribed about 20 or so social events, obits, and even the transcript of a murder trial for my ancestors and I have only just begun. It is a lot of work but it gives us a window into their lives and makes them become more than a name on a pedigree chart.

Elizabeth, You can't send attachments to RootsWeb lists. The only way to do something like that is to transcribe it and send it as plain text.
