Are you in Franklin County? If so, a trip to London, Ohio would be beneficial. You can go to the court house and check birth, death, and marriage records. The Gen. Society has tons of info. I'm from Florida, but come to Cincinnati at Christmas and in the summer. I always make a trip to London and usually find info I need. Check them out. >From: OHMADISO-D-request@rootsweb.com >Reply-To: OHMADISO-L@rootsweb.com >To: OHMADISO-D@rootsweb.com >Subject: OHMADISO-D Digest V04 #102 >Date: Thu, 16 Dec 2004 04:11:36 -0700 > >Content-Type: text/plain > >OHMADISO-D Digest Volume 04 : Issue 102 > >Today's Topics: > #1 Genealogy Libraries [jbrenna@columbus.rr.com] > #2 Re: Genealogy Libraries [uel3dar@earthlink.net] > #3 Re: [OHMadison] Re: Genealogy Libr ["Yolanda Campbell Lifter" ><ylifter] > #4 Re: [OHMadison] Genealogy Librarie ["Sherry Wilush" ><swilush@cfl.rr.co] > #5 Re: [OHMadison] Re: Genealogy Libr ["uel3dar" ><uel3dar@earthlink.net>] > >Administrivia: >To unsubscribe from OHMADISO-D, send a message to > > OHMADISO-D-request@rootsweb.com > >that contains in the body of the message the command > > unsubscribe > >and no other text.
