Lots of new things are happening on Lake County OH GenWeb. Here is the listing since July when I posted last. I would like to call your attention to a couple of real goodies, though. A rare book, History of Northeastern Ohio, is available at Madison Public Library. The index to the biographies may be of interest, since they are later than the usual county histories, being from 1935. The Kirtland Family History Center is a fabulous resource for Lake County research. They have, hidden out of view, a huge collection of our records on microfilm. So, if you work, the courthouse records are available on Thursday and Friday evenings. A listing of all the Lake and Geauga county permanent loan film, fiche and books are on the site under libraries. Another great resource is the Lake County Historical Society. Their surname vertical files have been listed on the site under Libraries, as well. This is in addition to the genealogy files that were posted a few months ago. These vertical files fill two file cabinets! At long last, our death record transcription is complete! Thanks so much to Becky, Sean, Barb, Lori, Phyllis, Mary, Pat and Janet who have helped so much. If you would like to help with the birth record project, please let me know. I will send you a disk and everything you need. The project is only about 40% complete at this time. Unfortunately, since it will be presented alphabetically, nothing will show on the web site until the project is finished. More is below! Happy researching!
