It is directly behind the court house in the center of town. Address and times can be found on the Guernsey County GenWeb web site: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/oh/county/guernsey/ > I plan a trip to Guernsey County June 8th, 9th.

Many resources are duplicated in the library. I would probably spend most of my time in the library's Findley Room, and when it is closed go over to the court house. > I have seen references to a book "Portrait and Biographical Record of > Guernsey Co., Ohio" and also "Stories of Guernsey Co.", by William Wolfe. > Would love to be able to find a copy of these books to look through. Both of those are probably at that library. When I was there last summer, Wolfe's book was also available as a reprint in a bookstore just west of the courthouse. > My ancestors are reportedly buried in Old Kimbolton Cem in Guernsey County. > Could anyone supply directions as to where this is? The U.S. Geographic Names Information System <http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html> is really helpful in finding things like cemeteries, in addition to land forms and populated places. It provides information at this address for "Kimbolton Cemetery" (I don't know if this is the same as "Old Kimbolton Cemetery"): http://mapping.usgs.gov:8888/gnis/owa/gnisprod?f_name=Kimbolton&variant=Y&f_state=OH&f_cnty=Guernsey&f_type=cemetery&pop1=&pop2=&elev1=&elev2=&cell=&tab=y From here you can link to a map: http://mapping.usgs.gov:8888/gnis/owa/MapServer?f_name=Kimbolton+Cemetery&f_state=OH&f_latlong=400830N0813343W&server=TIGER S R C A cott obert ranston nderson phssra@physics.emory.edu Administrator, {C{OFFIELD,OLLOSKY,RANSTON,UMMINS},OHGUERNS}-L@rootsweb.com USGenWeb Coordinator, http://www.usgennet.org/usa/oh/county/guernsey/
