    1. RE: [OHLICKIN] Licking County History book online
    2. Dan Fleming
    3. The Licking County history is just one of many that are featured on the site. If you go to the bottom of the page that the link takes you to, you'll see a link for the home page, where you'll see all the other counties. At the bottom of the home page is a link to Al Potter, the webmaster, where you may send comments. Page numbers are shown in the page breaks between the text. I believe the methodology is OCR, and so it sometimes contains errors. I have personally reported a couple of errors to Al, which he fixed. Despite occasional errors, it has proven to be a huge aid in research, even if you have a copy of the original book. The search capabilities of the site speed up the search, because it can be difficult and time consuming to find something in the hard-copy book.

They ask for comments on their search engine but I can't seem to figure out how to send them a comment. Unfortunately, their search engine just takes you to the beginning of the document and you have to look through the whole thing to find what you want -- unless I am missing something. I have a printed copy of the Licking County History so I tested it. They seem to have completely eliminated the page numbers on the original documents. I believe the Godfrey Library also has this book and you can search to the exact spot where the name appears. In fact, Godfrey has most of the Ohio History Books on line through Heritage Quest.
