I just tried a search for a marriage record. The index said the record was in vol 100 page 240. But when I retrieved that page the person I was looking for wasn't there (nor was he on any of the surrounding pages). But I noticed that the marriages are displayed 2 per page and, besides a page number, are individually numbered. So I decided look for marriage #240 instead of page #240. I started by dividing the page number given in the index by 2 and looking at page #120. That page contained marriage #237 and #238. So I looked at the next page (#121) and found the marriage (#240) that I was looking for.

Hello, I would appreciate an obituary lookup for two family members. They are: Stiverson, Melvin/Marvin--dod 30 Mar 1984 (He was a minister.) Ruble, Harry C--dod 20 Sep 1966 (He was an undertaker.) Between the two occupations, I guess they had everyone covered! Any assistance will be appreciated. Carl Adcock Gold Canyon, AZ

There was a United Brethren Church in Cherry Grove called Pleasant Valley. Does anyone have any information on this church? Does it still exist today? John Charles Tippet johntippet@cox.net

At the Family History Center near you (see Familysearch.org, then "Library", then "Library Catalog". Look under land records in Hamilton County. The library has land records starting in 1787. The films can be brought to your local Family History Center nearest to you, if they aren't already on permanent loan. To find the Family History Center near you, go to the home page of Familysearch.org and near the bottom of the home page, find " Find a Family History Center". Enter your city and state, and you'll find a Center near you. Hope you find what you're looking for, and that these directions are helpful.

RJ, Bill Graver is an expert in the maps and land deeds for Hamilton County, which extended beyond its current boundaries early on. He published Index to Selected Hamilton County, Ohio, Recorder's Books, 1801-1820, but some entries go back as far as 1788 in that index. Unfortunately I just sold my last copy and will have to reprint, and my original records are in storage or I would look up for you, but the Recorder's Office should have a copy. Bill volunteers (or did) at the Cincinnati Historical Society library/archives and was making appts to help people one on one. I don't know if he is still doing that. You may check with your local library to see if they have a copy. The index is a real time saver.

I came across this advertised book and have a request: If another subscriber owns a copy, would you please let me know if any Harrells are listed. My Harrells settled in Cleves/North Bend. Thank you. Sue Hamilton County, Ohio, Index of Early Deed Books, 1804-1806 and 1814-1817 William H. Graver, Eileen Mullen Paper; 8.5 x 11; v, 294 pages; alphabetical $32.50 plus $3.00 mailing (Ohio residents add $2.28 sales tax) ISBN 1-932250-19-0 This book indexes more than 12,000 names found in the documents of the Hamilton County, Ohio, Recorder's deed books F1, F2, O, and P. Because some documents were not recorded until years after they were written, these books contain entries dated as early as 1788. More than 4,500 of the names are from documents written in the periods from 1788-1803 and 1807-1813. It is the only name index that exists for these books. This index is especially helpful in finding early families as there were no city or county directories during these years. More than 5,500 entries tell where the person lived and more than 2,400 names pair husbands and wives.

I am trying to trace my SILVERSTONE ancestors in Cincinnati. This is what I know already: 1. Jacob SILVERSTONE, born Poland about 1788, emigrated to England where he had two children: Frances (about 1833, London), Ellen (about 1835, Paddington, London) and Rosa (1837, Strand, London). Rosa's mother was Hannah HARRIS (this may be an English version of a German or Polish name). 2. Further emigration to US (1837-1841?) where the family appears in Cincinnati in 1850 US Census. No sign of Hannah, Jacob's supposed wife, who may have died en route to the US or in the US. The family may have arrived in the US just after the 1840 Census as there is no trace of them until 1850. 3. Ellen marries Henry JACOBS about 1851-53 and has two children (Hannah - 1854 and Morris Henry - about 1856) and return to England where the rest of the family were born and brought up in Brighton, Sussex. (This suggests that Hannah was also Ellen's mother although I have not found any record of Ellen's birth in the UK. Her place of birth is only known from the later UK Census's.) 4. Jacob is mentioned in the history of the KK Bene Yeshurun Temple as being a trustee in 1841 and was present at the laying of the foundation stone of the new temple in 1865. 5. Rosa marries Henry Meyer in 1858 and they move to Kentucky. I am still searching for: 1. Information about Jacob's place of birth in Poland, his marriage (when/where) and his death, probably in the US.2. Any information about Hannah SILVERSTONE (nee Harris) - birth, death etc.3. Who was "Corrada" SILVERSTONE, mentioned in the 1850 US Census as being born in Germany? and I would be interested in making contact with any descendants in the US. Gerry 

To the list, I wanted to let you all know that I am planning to have 6 local authors at the 3rd annual Little Miami Holiday Bookfest on Saturday, November 28, at 19 Water Street, Milford, Ohio. This is the weekend of the Milford Hometown Holidays celebration. Refreshments will be served. A few of the following authors could be of interest to the group: 10:30 to 12:00 noon -- Don Heinrich Tolzmann (German Americana: Selected Essays, Wooden Shoe Hollow, John A Roebling and His Suspension Bridge on the Ohio River, German Heritage Guide to the Greater Cincinnati Area, among others). 10:30 to 12:00 noon -- Kenny Burck (president of the Hamilton County Genealogy Society, along with his marriage indexes and others, the society just published the 6th edition of A Guide to Genealogical Resources in Cincinnati and Hamilton County, Ohio, and can talk about the society and resources in the area). 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. -- Linda Swink (just published In Their Honor: The Men Behind the Names of Our Military Installations). 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. -- Gary Knepp (Clermont County attorney who just published Beyond the Names: A Tribute to Clermont County Ohio's Vietnam War Dead as well as his Freedom's Struggle--about the underground railroad). 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. -- Randy McNutt and Cheryl Bauer (Ohio Civil War Tales. Also Randy's Ghosts and Cheryl's Shakers of Indiana). I hope to see and meet some of you at the event. If you want a book signed but cannot attend, please let me know and I will take care of having it signed and mailed to you. Thanks, Barbara Gargiulo Little Miami Publishing

There is an area in Northern KY, likely Campbell Co., called Ryland. There are many summer homes as well as your-round homes there, as well as a golf course. Others will have more information. Try the Campbell County (KY) Library.

At my sister's this evening for Thanksgiving dinner, she showed me a photo album that must have belonged to my grandfater. In it are several, most of the album, photos from different events at Ryland Park, dating from 1912 - probably 1917 when he went to the Army for WW I. The downside is there are no names with each photo, only the date and the event. Is anyone on this list familiar with this park and it's history. Thank you..............I hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving Bob G
