    1. [OHLOGAN-L] Re: (Thurman query) Where is Centerville?
    2. Susan Williams
    3. In the May-Summer issue 1995 of the AZ Chapter OGS Newsletter, I published an article titled " THE NAME'S THE SAME - Your ancestors may NOT be where you think they should be". I used as my sources the 1989 "Ohio Atlas & Gazeteer" publ. by DeLorme & the ca 1992 map "Ohio County Maps" publ. by Thomas Publications. Just as Shelby OH is NOT in Shelby County and Franklin OH is NOT in Franklin County, the problem of where a "town" is located can be tricky for Ohio researchers. Two examples: Avondale, OH can be found in Belmont, Hamilton, Logan, Montgomery, Muskingum & Stark Counties . Centerville, OH can be found in Belmont, Brown, Clinton, Gallia & Montgomery Counties. These place names in multiple locations can drive a researcher crazy. I am reprinting this article as a file attachment this week. If anyone would like a file attachment reprint of the article, please send me an email request. Permission to use the attachment for non-profit use is granted, provided attribution is given.
