I have a new copy of the book SELECTED HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO CHURCH BAPTISM RECORDS 1870-1879 Indexed by Jeffrey G. Herbert. You can find this book listed for $48.00 plus $3.00 mailing (Ohio residents add $3.36 sales tax).at this site. http://www.littlemiamibooks.com/cgi-bin/lmbsearch.cgi I'll be happy to sell my new copy for $25. I'll pay postage, too. Ruth ruthplay@scrtc.com

Rolene, I don't see that anyone has responded to this, & I can only go by my experience with personal research. There are some (most) administration books that survived the fire & many wills. Some of the older wills, the original "copies" made by the clerk are at the UC library & the books at the courthouse will read as they are the "restored" copies. As to packets for administration that you would find at most court houses which can reveal extremely helpful info., I don't think that any exist. Perhaps not because in whole or part do to the fires however. I don't know the time frame, perhaps 1960's-1980's probate decided to microfilm what records exist, and then destroy the paper copy. Over 300 microfilms are at the library in downtown Cinti. & at the courthouse. Yet, they apparently are such a mess, no organization, not labeled correctly or something, that neither place (court house or library) will let an individual look at the film. I've tried on several different occasions without luck. It's really a shame our elected officials chose to destroy what few copies exist of our original records. It's good they sought to microfilm them first, but not sure what went wrong with the microfilming..........

How does one add data to it?

Well, the second listing came through all run together. Don't know why it sometimes does that. Here is the information for that part again. From the 1889 Cincinnati City Directory: HUMBRECHT: Emma, seamstress, h. 57 15th. Erasmus, portrait painter, h. n.s. McMillan nr. Clifton Av. John, mach., h. 420 Colerain Av. Jos. B., barber, h. 572 Colerain Av. Julius, lead caster, h. Kibby nr. Wilkinson. Lizzie, wid Louis, h. n.e.c. 7th and Carr. Louis, finisher, h. n.e.c.7th and Carr. Mrs. Mary, h. 1 Clearwater. Victor, mach., h. Wayne nr. Boone. Victor J., real estate, 779 Gilbert Av., h. Wayne nr. Boone. Phyllis

I hope this comes through as a list and not all run together. Will resend if it runs together as one paragraph. I've sent it to the Hamilton County list as well since it pertains to that area.

I know that some, at least, of the early Hamilton County records were involved in a fire. Have the probate records (from about 1820 thru 1860) survived? Rolene Kiesling, Groveland, CA

I am looking for the father of John Glenn b 1797 in Ohio according to 1860 census. I have reason to believe that his father was either Hugh or William Glenn. Tax records about that time indicate a Hugh and William. John joined the Kentucky milita and fought in the War of 1812. He joined in Louisville in 1814 and was discharged in Gallatin Co. Kentucky in 1815. After Indiana became a state he was married in Switzerland Co in 1820. Anyone have Hamilton Co records out there on Glenn's in the late 1790's and early 1800's. I know this is tough as some of this Ohio land was later Indiana and theIndian lands of Indiana Gore. I would appreciate any information. Dean Glenn dglenn@hal-pc.org

Thank you Cece. I followed your advise, and now have the address of the person I need to contact. I appreciate your help. Edna Shuler Stobart Miami, FL

To Ann, yes the Wymers are from Cincinnati. My grandmother was born in Cincinnati and my mother grew up in Batavia, so I believe we had several relatives live in those areas. Thanks a bunch for all of your help. Lisa

Hello. I believe I may have narrowed down a couple of the Wymers. Does anyone have any information on a Lillian (Homer) Wymer b. 12-25-1893 d. 11-1965 and a Samuel Wymer b. 8-15-1892 d. 3-1964. Thanks, Lisa

Donna, There were two facilities operated by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd in Cincinnati. That order of nuns was dedicated to working with girls who were either orphaned or underprivileged or delinquent. Mt. St. Mary Training School was at Grand & Warsaw in Price Hill, the hill west of the city. The Sisters of the Good Shepherd also ran the Convent of the Good Shepherd home and training school for girls on North Bend Road on the hill above Hartwell, approximately 10 miles north of downtown Cincinnati. This might help to determine in which facility your great-grandmother lived. Both facilities have been closed for many years. The Sisters of the Good Shepherd continue in the US. You might want to "google" for them or either one of the institutions.

Dear Marilyn, the info you sent me regarding a William Wymer in the 1900 census is perfect. My mother remembers her mother talking about her Uncle Raymond. Do you mind to send me the additional info you were referring to? Thanks a bunch. Lisa

Hi Edna, I had this same problem, and I contacted the order of nuns. I went to Google and typed it in. I found their web site, and an e mail address. I wrote a generic letter, explaining my desire, and they put me in touch with their archivist. I hope this helps you.

A great site, no luck so far.

I know of no other Ross links to the Cincinnati area, thanks for your efforts. Larry
