Often when I am working on the website (Hamilton Co OHGenWeb) I don't think of my own ascestors, but yes, on both my parents side they lived on "both sides of the river", Cincinnati, Covington & Newport. Even obits in current day newspapers include people not only on both sides of the river, but the "tri-state" which means OH, KY, IN & then the tri-county, but I haven't figured that one out cause I come up with at least 4, Hamilton, Butler, Warren & Clermont. I've lived here all my life but what does Tri-county mean, other than the highway?
