For oldies or newbies. . . . you can search the following batch numbers for Seneca County, Ohio, online at www.familysearch.org , the LDS site. To search only these, go to the above, then click on the tab for Custom Search. Next screen, click on International Genealogical Index. ( IGI) On the next screen, fill in the batch number, specify North America as the region, then fill in a surname. (I leave the exact spelling feature off to perhaps pick up the misspells.) If you still can't find a record, you can search the entire filmed batch a page at a time by not entering any surname. While this is tedious, I did find a marriage that I was almost *sure* had to be there by searching page by page. Both bride and groom's surnames were misspelled from the original, but were recognizable, they just wouldn't come up on the search for the surnames. This method will work for any IGI filmed records for a different county or country. For instance, if you already found an ancestor in filmed records of Germany on this site, note the batch number, then go back to the screen above, entering Germany as the region, the batch number, etc., and you can search that batch. When you bring up an individual record, you can see the batch number, source number etc, below it. Clicking on the source number will give you the information on the source. Also, while not all records are online, here's a tip: once you find a batch for a specific location, try going one or two numbers up or back, to discover more batches, either using the same initial or changing to another, and you may come up with additional batches. Note the sequences below. If you have easy access to a FHL, these batch numbers will be on microfiche, but my library doesn't have any way to distinguish which are online at the moment. But you can get them there. I have made notes of various county batch numbers as I went along, so that as new names come up in my search, I can go back easily to those specific counties. Hope this is helpful. ( and makes sense!) Here are the Batch numbers I have determined: Seneca County Marriages from Probate records (initial M) M514111 M514112 M514113 M514114 Seneca County Births/Christening (initial C) C514116 While not the original document, this gives you a direction to go for documentation.
