For all the researchers in our Huron County query system-- I've been noticing more and more researchers with more than one email address. I know there are some that have different addresses for different things, but I suspect we have a lot out there that have old ones they no longer use. The query program does not automatically update the email addresses, but it does look for duplicate names. I don't make changes unless I get a notice to do so from the researcher. I have no way of knowing the intent. You may be missing out on some good info if others can't reach you. If you know, or suspect, that you may have an outdated address on a query, let me know (separate email to me, not the mail list) and I will update your records. Also, for all those kind souls who respond to a query on the mail list (lookups, etc), be sure you include, with your response, the researcher's name and email; you don't want people responding back to you instead of the researcher. I need the researcher info in order to get it to the Query Page. Look at some of Nancy's and Ken's lookup responses on the mail list, for examples. With Ken out of pocket for awhile, I know a lot of you will jump in to help. If you have any questions, or need help, send an email directly to me instead of the list. Thanks for all you do, Crystal Barth (crystal1@flash.net) Huron County Query Editor

Julie, I too am interested in how folks respond. I have similar situation here in Ohio. My ancestors settled circa 1803 in the 1st quarter-township of Range 4, Township 5, USMD. Below I will list the counties their residence was in along with the year: 1802-1803: Washington County, Northwest Territory (Ohio) 1803-1804: Washington County, Ohio 1804-1808: Muskingum County, Ohio (area referred to as District 4) 1808-1810/11: Oxford Twp., Tuscarawas County, Ohio 1811-present: Oxford Twp., Coshocton County, Ohio I have been listing each child's birth place as it was called at the time of birth and then in my text or research notes indicating that the homestead is now located in Oxford Twp., Coshocton Co. OH. I am also including every map I can find showing the changes in boundaries over time so that my family can visually understand what I am trying to say. Maps that line up correctly have been hard to find and they often don't include every year, which I almost need. County maps that show early township boundary changes would be wonderful - has anyone ever seen a publication like that? > Ken - Rather than a look-up, I have a general "how-to" question that you > may be able to help me with.

I am researching the family of Fred Ward and Etta ELIZABETH J. Gourlie Casler who married sometime between 1920 and 1925. Etta Elizabeth J. left her first family about 1919 in Michigan and is said to have married a Fred Ward and moved to Ohio. She was born around 1885 in Ontario, Canada. I was told she died in Ohio before 1966. If anyone has this person in your database I would be delighted to hear from you. Dottie in So. Calif

Hi All, It is with much regret that I report the absence of Ken Shute from our daily lives. He is alive and well, just is needing to pull back from all the volunteer work he has been doing. As soon as he feels he is ready, he has promised that he will be back on a limited scale. Please do not send any further research requests to Ken via the mail list or privately. The following books are the ones that Ken was using for his lookup services. If anyone has any of these books and is willing to take over the lookups on one or more of them, I think Ken would be pleased. Let me know if you are willing to take up the slack in Ken's absence. I do hope that more of you will be willing to help out on the mail list with research answers. 1. "Gateway to the West", Vols. 1 &amp; 2, compiled by Ruth Bowers and Anita Short.

My own opinion is the same as Ken's. Always give the place of birth, marriage and/or death as that place was known at that time. Then add a note with the present day name of the place. Good question.

My question is how to handle historical place names that have changed names. One example would be the city of Osnabruck. Today it is a city in Lower Saxony in Germany, but it had a tumultuous history: until 1801, Osnabruck was independent and ruled by a Prince Bishop. In 1801, it was overrun by the Prussians In 1803, it was invaded by Napoleon's France In 1805, the Prussians were back In 1806, the French returned and Osnabruck was part of the French Empire. In 1814, it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Hanover. What would be the proper way to record the life events, recognizing the geo-political boundaries of that period: Person 1 born 1624 in Osnabruck Person 2 born 1802 in Osnabruck, Prussia Person 3 born 1804 in Osnabruck, France Person 4 born 1815 in Osnabruck, Hanover. or record them all with today's boundaries--Osnabruck, Lower Saxony, Germany? I know that this request is a bit outside of you normal scope for volunteer look-ups. I have unsuccessfully searched for the answer and thought you may be able to steer me in the correct direction. Thanks for any help that you may be able to provide. _Julie >> Hi Julie, I'm afraid I don't know how much help I can be. Saying "this request is a bit outside of your normal scope" is like saying the election results in Florida are a bit unsettled. In any event, I'm sending a copy of your request to the Mail List in hopes that there are others who may better help you. One possibility of accommodation, using your example for Person 2, would be to say that Person 2 was born 1802 in Osnabruck, Prussia, and then add parenthetically "(present day Osnabruck, Lower Saxony, Germany)." Huron County, Ohio, in its formative stages in the early 1800's, had townships going hither and yon, combining and separating, some being annexed to adjacent counties. Ruggles township, for example, was part of Huron County until 1846 when it became part of adjacent Ashland County, Ohio. So, as another example, it might be acceptable to say, that in 1844, "Jacob Smith settled on section 2, lot 27 in Ruggles Township, Huron County, Ohio (present day Ashland County, Ohio)." Hope you get some good suggestions from the Mail List. Regards, Ken Shute, in MD (kwsroots@aol.com).
