I'm interested in talking with anyone who knows the following family: Emaline (Emma) Shafer married James Pruett just prior to 1890 in Lawrence County. Both he and she were born in 1870 in Ohio. They are in census records of LC through and including 1930 (Union Township) and the following are their children. Laura, b. 9/1888 Martha b. 5/1894 Dora b. 4/1896 Emma b. 5/1899 James b. 1901 William H "Willie" b. 1903 Walter b. 1906 I'm particularly interested in Emma (Emaline) as I think she may be daughter of Andrew M. Shafer and his wife Emily. Anyone know these guys ? Gary

Are there many resources available at the Hamner room that is not available on-line? I have actually been there a couple of times, but it has been quite a few years ago. Bruce There are microfilms of many county records, including wills, deeds, marriages, probate court births and deaths, full microfilm of most of the newspapers since 1850, census, etc. Some of these are from the earliest right up to the near present. There are two large filing cabinets of films. Most of what is on line is indexes. The Ohio Historical Society index to Ohio Death Certificates, from 1908-1942 There are about three years in the mid 1930's where a copy was not available There are copies of the birth and death indexes from the Health Dept., that include dates. Cemetery records, There are transcriptions of many records and family histories. Yes, there is a lot of stuff on the Lawrencecountyohio.com web site, but it just scratches the surface of what is available in the Hamner Room. One of the largest pluses for the Hamner Room, is the personal assistance by someone who knows what info may be found in a particular record group, and how to use that to move forward. I will admit that there are times when the room is covered by a sub, who just barely knows what genealogy is, let alone how to dig out obscure facts. All library's have budget problems these days.

Hey Henry - Appreciate your email. I've not gotten much response to my query. Yes - I would have also had ancestors in school during the 1903-1909 period. Any pics of Eaton's, Gardner's, Cox's, or Gillett's could possibly be some of my relatives. Thanks so much.

Don, I know that at the moment, Alexander Waddell is not being accepted by the DAR as a patriot. I'm sure if someone can produce more proof than what they have on file they will again recognized him. This happened in with Thomas Clark in Gallia County. It took several years but he was reproved but with a different military record. Many of the original applications did not have much proof and some was just information passed down from one generation to another. We have several members in Gallia County that have joined in the past on Alexander Waddell and now we are having to find other ancestors for new family members wanting to join. Marjorie L.

The Tuesday June 7 meeting of the Lawrence Co. Gene. Soc., will be at 6PM, in the conference room of Briggs Library in Ironton. Mr. Jack Dickinson will speak about the Rosanna Blake collection of Civil War items, that is housed near the Special Collections Dept of the Marshall University Morrow Library. The original plan was for Mr. Dickinson to give us a guided tour, but during the semester break, that portion of the library has been closed for renovations and repair. Jack Dickinson is a local Civil War Historian, with several books in print, and will have his books available for sale and signing. All are welcome. Refreshments will be served. There will be a short business meeting and planning session for our booth at the Lawrence County Fair. Donald R.
