Thanks to both you and Tootsie for your guidance on traveling thru this great web site. Gary In a message dated 4/29/2008 11:45:39 P.M.

One is "text collection". When you hit that link, you can scroll down the page and will see that it includes part of the genealogy collection from the LDS library in Salt Lake City (I think it is listed under Family Archives or Family Search - something like that). I usually don't go all the way into that "Family" search link, but just use the search capability at the top of the "text collection" page....but I'm sure you can scroll through the different collections. I too have found that the OCR "search" capability isn't always correct and the site sometimes hangs up for quite a long time. Good luck. I've found some great stuff.

Could you give me a short lesson on how you got there from the home page. I have spent nearly an hour on their web site, which I'm pretty familiar with already, and haven't been able to access the document by progressing thru their site. I would like to see what other things they have to offer but can't get it to click for me. Help would be appreciated. Thanks Gary In a message dated 4/26/2008 9:59:48 P.M.

I tried the two researchers posted as look up references for this on the Guernsey Gen Web page, Marilyn Armstrong McCormick-Murphy and David E. Holland, but could not get either to do this. I'm researching the ancestry of George Wolfe the father of the author himself (William Wolfe.) I'm hoping he wrote about his father's family in that work. George was the son of George and Mary (Kinkle/ Kinkerly) Wolfe, and I haven't been able to find his parents or the household he was living in after the 1830 census, when he was in Frederick City, Maryland. Also coming to Guernsey Co. were George Jr.'s sister and his married aunt Susan, who may have moved before himself. I'm especially interested in whether he wrote anything on the Kinkle(y) side of his family back in Maryland.

I have a subscription to NewspaperArchive.com and I have been doing a lot of family research in the Cambridge Jeffersonian. During my research, I found a collection of articles published in 1893/1894 called "Local Historical Sketches, Miscellaneous Events from 1813 to the Present." There are about 28 articles and they provide an interesting view of the history of Guernsey County written from the perspective of someone in 1893. Keep in mind that these are image files and since the original was not in the best of shape, there are some bits that are unreadable. The thing I like about them is that they provide a view into daily life of the time that you can't find in Census records or other official docs. I've attached a copy of the first article and if there is interest I am happy to send more. Elizabeth Garland ebarwick@hotmail.com
