Also there is the Cincinnati and Hamilton County Public Library in downtown Cincinnati. It is one of the best genealogy libraries in the world and has a great deal on the surrounding areas, but also a complete set of the Federal census for all years, including the soundexes and indexes. It has a wealth of ships passenger lists, in addition to tons of other stuff. I have been to Ft. Wayne and it is wonderful also, but if you are going to be in the Warren County area, you will want to check out the Cincinnati (Hamilton County) holdings. It is only a few blocks from either the 71 or 75 interstates. You can access the catalog online.
