Emma is my g-grandmother and I have been looking for any info I could find on her. She was born abt 1856 on Ohio and married John Henry Tibbs and had one son (my grandfather) named Isaac Newton Tibbs born 1874/75. The last census I found her in was 1880 and she was a servant. John Henry was living with his brother Isaac and family. I'm not 100% sure that Emma as a servant in the 1880 census us my Emma, but I think she might be. Her son Isaac was in the orphanage in Ironton and had been since he was about 2 yrs of age (according to their record). He was removed from the orphanage by his mothers brother sometime after the 1880 census was done and word had it that his father John Henry took him and left the area. I know that part to be true. Just hope someone out there knows what may have happened to Emma. I have all the records of John Henry and Isaac after they left the Ohio area. Any info anyone may have will be very much appreciated. Thanks Ann Pierce

Historical Guides and Gazetteer CD's may also include maps of the period providing cartographic reference to 19th century places identified and discussed in the literature. Also included are hundreds of advertisements by contributing businesses providing historical insight into the goods, services and the merchants that made them available during the 19th century.

Early county maps may contain many places that no longer exist or that have been obscured over time. Atlases with statistical data provide vivid detail of 19th century pioneer lifestyles. Details on early maps are often difficult to read and these are no exception; however, by virtue of the Adobe PDF formatting, these documents may be inspected and printed at high levels of magnification without additional digital distortion; something that simply cannot be accomplished with paper reproductions and photocopies. There is a vast amount of information that can be gleaned from these sources and the diligent researcher will find these cartographic resources useful in their studies. ------------------------------------------------------------ Good luck with your research!
