after waiting -- what? two years-- for these records to come online, I have been disappointed. I have all kinds of relatives in Cinti. from the 1800's and have only found a few records. guess I was expecting too much to have them organized so a name search would work. and the Wills, after Feb. of 1884 don't even have a master index to search, death records require knowing who reported the death. I know there were courthouse fires and if people did not take their records back to be recorded again, they won't be there...............all I can say, is I'm glad this isn't the only source for information. -----Original Message----- From: almamagis@fuse.net To: ohhamilt@rootsweb.com Sent: Wed, Jan 6, 2010 2:47 pm Subject: Re: [OHHAMILT] PROBATE COURT RECORDS ONLINE I too am having a problem with finding people. I only found my grandparents rom 1910. was hoping there might be a workshop on it but that won't help people out of he area.

Having scanned the menu it seems to me that marriage record would be the most numerous of all options. I have family in Cincinnati since the 1840's with a number of marriages to date but I in spite of that I have found about 90% of the returns come back with an invalid Volume. And yes, I have put an A, B, and C in front of the volume, this has helped on a rare occasion. Seems to me that 1.1 million includes the amount of people listed on the marriage index but not the certificate itself. I'm I the only one who's banging their head against the wall or am I missing a trick?
