Occupations, ie. agriculture, commercial or manufacture, are indicated. Also, those foreigners not naturalized and the count of "colored persons" and whether they were free or slave are included. What makes this book unique, and SO valuable, are the three indices that Rebecca has included..... a LAST NAME index, a FIRST NAME index, and an index by TOWNSHIP. Kudos and thanks to Rebecca for the countless hours she spent poring over census images and meticulously transcribing thousands of names and numbers. 1820 Federal Census of Fairfield County, Ohio 110 pages (printed single-sided for ease of reading), 3 indices included $15.00 (free shipping) READY TO SHIP ___________________________ Genealogical Abstracts of the Lancaster (Ohio) Gazette, Vol. VI, 1901–1905 by Jean Collier You will spend many hours with this book! As with the previous five volumes, Vol. VI includes references to births, deaths, marriages and other items of genealogical interest published in the Lancaster Gazette. Entries are in chronological order by the date of the newspaper listing. Surnames are bold-faced and easy to locate on each page after finding specific surnames in the index. We are very appreciative of the hours and days Jean spent reading the newspaper microfilm and writing the information for this publication. We also value the time FCC volunteers Barbara Rowles and Patsy Kishler spent typing and indexing and preparing the information for publication. Genealogical Abstracts of the Lancaster (Ohio) Gazette, Vol. VI, 1901 – 1905 235 pages, fully indexed. $23.00 – PRE-PUBLICATION SALE PRICE if ordered by AUGUST 31st, 2005. $25.00 – beginning September 1, 2005.
