Hi All, While Ken Shute may claim to be in semi-retirement, he has certainly not forgotten all of you out there. He has been putting together the complete index to the Huron County 1845 Plat Map. That part of the project is now completed and can be found on our web site (URL is in my signature file below). Go to the Archive link. There you will find a link to the Plat Map page. Please read all of the instructions. Otherwise the "next" step will be difficult. Ken has now started photographing and sending me actual images from that plat map book. This is the "next" step. You will now be able to see the image of the plat map and find the exact location of your ancestor's land. These images are really good quality considering what Ken has to work with in the book. Thank you, Ken and Bev for your continued support of Huron County researchers!!! You need to remember that there are 80 township sections (each township is divided into 4 sections), so that means that Ken has to take 80 pictures, fiddle with them to make them of decent quality and then send them to me. I then put them into a format to be loaded on-line for you to see. This "next" step is going to take some time. We already have one section for Greenwich Township and all four sections for Lyme Township, so we are steaming right along. As is stated on the Plat Map page - there is NO research offered or available on this project. This is for you to find your ancestor and where they owned land only. If you want a copy of the deed, you may go to the main web site and scroll down to the link for Research Done For You. There you will find instructions for having someone here in Huron County get copies from the courthouse. Yes, that means any research you want done in Huron County. Read all of the instructions found on that page.
