The MVGI is a site I put on-line a couple of years ago. It covers over half-a- million genealogy related record pointers from south-west Ohio Counties. It is the area that drains into The Great Miami River. These Ohio counties are Butler, Champain, Clark, Darke, Green, Hamilton, Miami, Montgomery, Preble, Shelby, Warren. Many settlers came into this by floting area down the Ohio River, then up the Great Miami River. Some were here before 1800. After a generation or two, many families moved "on west".
