Hi. Figure it's me you're talking to; if so, you're welcome for looking up info. I do not live near or in Ohio. Wish I did at least for a little while right about now -- I have several counties I'd dearly love to visit & go through their records for myself. I live in Northeast Texas (near Tyler). Re. your offer of helping with California information, I will be taking you up on that as soon as I lay hands on some information here. I have a man who died in California, also his wife who remarried; I'm interested in information on both of them. I have both of them on censuses but don't think I have their exact death dates, which I want. I'll dig around for the information and then ask you about it -- will try to contact you off this list since it pertains to CA vs Hamilton co. I'm pretty much available most of the time to help w/census lookups, that kind of thing; I have a subscription to Ancestry.com for censuses only at home plus I work in a genealogical library, too; they have the censuses +, so I don't mind helping. My lines in/that went through Hamilton county: THOMAS, KERR, FESS, HERRING, probaby others too. The ones I think who stayed the longest were the Thomases (William & Christiana & a relative Osborn w/his family) - ca 1850-1880s. Good luck with your lines & hope all works out well for you!!
