There were a couple of references to the book: Calvinists Incorporated: Welsh Immigrants on Ohio's Industrial Frontier by Anne Kelly Knowles ---- I am researching Joseph Humphreys (various spellings) and also some others that I think might be of Welsh descent. Joseph Humphreys (born approx. 1786) has been impossible to find anywhere. I jumped at the chance to possibly find him in this book---and other surnames, also. I did a Google search, as another researcher did, and found several places it could be ordered. BUT, on one of the Amazon. com sites you are actually able to view some of the pages. The complete Index is there !!! Needless to say, I checked out several of my surnames---none were listed. I am sure the book is very worthwhile and probably very interesting to read, but the index does not show any of my people. I just thought I would pass this info on for others that were thinking of buying it. Other surnames I am searching in the Jackson County Area: Rice, Vernon, Trainer, Brown, Mercer and more.
