Maureen, The 1910 Ohio miracode is available, but I thought that was for the regular subscriber so I didn't mention it. And they told you $25? grrrrrr. I paid $29.

Judy, I don't know if I was a sucker or not, but I subscribed the extra $29 in order to get the census images. So far they only have the 1790's. But they are "promising" to have all census by next March (I believe that is what they told me in an email). But I did locate one ancestor on the 1790's and the microfilm is very clear and easy to read. I haven't printed anything so I can't reply to that, but I don't know why it wouldn't be clear, too. I love to get out and do the "footwork" but I don't always get the chance, so the opportunity to see them on my computer seems worthwhile to me.

Hi All, Is anyone here subscribed to Ancestry? Their yearly rate is $59 something. They are offering actual images of the federal census for a reduced rate until Nov 3rd. My question is - Do you feel that you are getting your money worth AND are the census images printable and/or downloadable? Can you enlarge then, clean them up etc???

Actually the reason was land. While your ancestors may not have purchased land when they arrived in Huron Co., they needed support from those that did. My research centers around Washington, Essex, Erie, and Clinton Co., NY and Rutland Co., VT. But I understand that the conditions in most areas of New York were the same. The land in New York was quite shallow, especially the land in Upstate New York. By the 1830's the land in Washington Co would not grow grain without "manuring". The Erie Canal opened the interior of the country. Grain and Wool could be grown in Ohio, IL, WI and other places and shipped to the east coast cheaper than it could be grown there. In addition there were new breeds of sheep that came from England that produced finer wool. The demand for course wool fell and the farmers that produced it could not sell it. The new breeds were expensive and not available in the New York interior. With the invention of the Cotton Gin, Cotton began to over take the wool industry. Even the way wool was spun changed from hand spinning and weaving to mechanized spinning and weaving. In the 1820's farmer could buy a couple of spinning wheels and hire the local women and children to make cloth for him. By the 1850's, he had to set up a factory. With all the other changes this was impossible. Then there were the Irish. Living in Ireland was tough. So when the immigrants came to the US, they would work for less pay then the locals would. Because they did not make much, they didn't spend much on things other than food. The Poor House rolls reflect the increase in Irish population. So not only did they work for less, but when they could not support them selves, they lived off of the locals. I am not sure that the economists consider it a depression, life in New York State was depressed. Farmers left for the Midwest in large numbers. Some with free land from the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. Some to Cheap land ($1 an acre during the time when farm land in Washington Co., NY was selling for $10 an acre). When the farmers left, there was no one for the shop keepers to sell to, so they followed the farmers. When the farmers and the shop keepers left, support people like accountants, lawyers, doctors, even government employees had to. As the population grew in the Midwest, the need for transportation grew. Canals, Railroads, and highways were developed. Canal Contractors and Maintenance people came from Northern New York. Railroad and Highway builders came from all over NY, PA, and VT. Once the Canals were dug, boat builders were needed. After the railroads were built, Engineers, Rail Yard People, Conductors, and other support people were needed. As the Highways were completed more wagon builders were needed. These folks ate, they sat in chairs, and walked in shoes. So you see, even if your folks did not buy land when they got to Huron Co, land was the reason they came.

I have quite a bit of family that went from New York State to Norwalk, Ohio. The Hadley's in 1840-1850 from Onondago Co., NY The Streeter's in 1840 from NY The Wyatt's in 1840 from NY Does anyone know what drew these people from NY state to Huron Co., Norwalk, Ohio ?? I also have the Hamilton's who went from Pa. to Norwalk about the same time. None seemed to have bought land but there must have been a reason they all ended up in Norwalk. Thanks in advance for any help, Pat

Fellow Listers, Recently, I acquired a book titled "The Ohio Hundred Year Book, 1803-1902." Question, would it be infringing on copyright laws to post some of the info?" Thanks, Dianne L. Springer-Fulton Proud member of NGS, OGS, Huron County Chapter of OGS

Lisa P. >> Hi Lisa, Suddenly finding myself with an extra hour on my hands this morning, and nothing better to do, I checked in our Huron County, Ohio publications for your John S. WATTS and Anna M. ___. I found a marriage that looks likely, and a cemetery inscription that seems pretty definite. Details: 1. Huron County, Ohio Marriages, 1815-1900, by Scheuer Publications, 1992. John WATTS m. Anna FULMER. Book 8, Page 83. You can request a copy from the Probate Court, Huron County Courthouse, 2 E. Main St., Norwalk, OH 44857 to try confirm whether this couple is yours. 2. Huron County, Ohio Cemetery Inscriptions. Maple Grove Cemetery, New Haven Township. Page 385. Section Q-- Row 11. 2 Anna May WATTS, 1879-1916. 3 John S. WATTS, 1875-1948 (IOOF) 4 Mary K. WATTS, 1871-1958. 3. Death Index, Huron County, Ohio, 1908-1919. Anna May WATTS d. 05/09/1916. You can write the Huron County Health Department, 180 Milan Ave., Norwalk, OH 44857 for a copy of the death record to try to confirm the maiden name of Anna May.
