Generally speaking libraries, state archives and genealogical societies have old newspapers on microfilm, and, sometimes, at the local level, a card file of obituary notices. But, keep in mind, each town is different. In Ohio, The Historical Soc. at Ohio Village has a fabulous collection of newspaper, from all over Ohio, all on film. ---------- > From: PrissyCraw@aol.com > To: OHJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Newspaper obits. > Date: Tuesday, February 02, 1999 4:33 PM > > Where can I find Newspaper Obits. > > > ==== OHJEFFER Mailing List ==== > Reminder: Please do not send mail to the list using HTML or RTF > If you aren't sure, visit > http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/listowners/html-off.htm

Does the obit list a funeral home or was he laid out at a relative's home? Mary

Claire Thanks for taking the time. I believe it was you who was in touch with my sister, Vicky Sutton, earlier on this. Thanks again.

Contact your local organization, and they can tell you. I did this with the Masons, and was told the headquarters address for the state I was interested in. I then contacted them, and they gave me the death date of my great grandfather, something I had been unable to find elsewhere. Good luck. ---------- > From: Karen Carlyle <kcarlyle@wave.home.com> > To: OHJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: IOF ancestral members > Date: Sunday, January 31, 1999 11:50 PM > > Hi, > Does anyone know if there is any information that can be obtained from > the IO(O)F organization, if an ancestor was a member?

Vivian, Thanks for the tidbits. These do sound like our Clows. We do know that our David had a Mates license and worked on the river and his father William was a boat pilot. Thanks again.

Before births were officially recorded, beginning in most Ohio counties in 1867, one place to look is church records for baptisms. These sometimes give a birth date or if the church performs infant baptisms, you may at least have an approximate date and most church records name the parents and the sponsors. You would need to determine or speculate as to the religious affiliation of your ancestors. Also keep in mind that people often attended a nearby church, whether or not that was their first choice of denomination. If you know the location of their residence, maps of the time and histories will help you to determine the location of the closest churches. I assume that you have the death certificates and that these do not list date of birth nor parents. Hope these ideas will help you. Carol

Hi All I am looking for Clows in Jefferson Co. William Clow married Sara Jane Conant 1857 in VA (nowWV) sons William 1858 WV, George 1860 IN and David 1863 IN. They all moved to Warrenton, Jefferson Co about 1870. David Clow married Lou Anna Deary about 1885. children Nannie Leah Clow, George S. Clow and Hazel Jane Clow. Any connections out there? Any info at all would be truly helpful. Thanks. Deb

Hi, Does anyone know if there is any information that can be obtained from the IO(O)F organization, if an ancestor was a member? If so, where would I write? Thanks in advance, Karen

Marqel, I looked in the 1871 Atlas of Jeff. Co. and there are no Balsley listed (or similar spellings.) There are two Twaddle's: a J. Twaddle in Springfield Twp. (near Ross and Brush Creek border); and A. Twaddle in Brush Creek. Regarding marriage certificates, I have obtained a copy through the Probate Court in Jeff. Co. I first phoned to see if they had such a record, since they have an index for many of the marriages. I was told they did, and so I then followed up with a letter and payment for the copy. I didn't mind the long distance charge, since I at least knew right away. Mind you, the early records don't have a lot of information. But just seeing the old handwriting is kind of exciting! If you look at the entry "Jeff. Co. Resources" on the Jeff. Co. GenWeb page you can find the phone number and hours. Here's the GenWeb link in case you don't have it bookmarked. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/1261/ Hope this helps, Karen --------------------- Qel33@aol.com wrote: > > I am requesting information on William Balsley who married Christianina > Twaddle on Jan. 3 1872 in Jefferson.
