You'll search and browse three centuries of genealogies and family history information. Build on what you already know about your family, adding names, dates of important events, and links to other family members - often entire branches at once.! And, the locations and dates of family events tell you where to look for church records, vital records, or census records, which may provide you with additional information about the family. To request a FREE lookup, go to: http://www.ancestralfindings.com/cd173.htm ========================================================= ==> Virginia, 1600s-1800s Vital Records #1 ========================================================= Learn an ancestor's name; names of family members; dates of vital events like birth, marriage, and death; plus more. The date and location of an important family event, can help you to immediately fill in holes in your family tree. The dates and locations provided in these! records can also help you pinpoint a family's location at a particular time. When you know where a family lived, you know where to look for church, census, and other important family records, which may provide you with more details about the family. To request a FREE lookup, go to: http://www.ancestralfindings.com/cd174.htm ========================================================= ==> Ohio Vital Records #1, 1790s-1870s ========================================================= Here you'll find more than 93,000 individuals referenced. The majority of the materials cover the years 1800 to 1850 and represent 76 of Ohio's 88 counties. What you can learn a! bout each listed individual varies according to the original rec ord, but this data offers a wide variety of important g enealogical source materials. This information will help you locate a particular individual at a specific place and point in time. Learning a date and location from these records may help you find your ancestor in other genealogical records not necessarily included in this collection. In some cases, particularly when your ancestor's name appears in a marriage record, will, or deed, you will also be able to establish family relationships. If you do find one of your ancestors among these records, it is likely that you will find a connection to a family line from the thirteen original colonies -- the Ohio area was one of the first to be settled north of the Mason-Dixon line and west of the thirteen original colonies. With the added convenience of a name index spanning both volumes, Gateway to the West makes an excellent addition t! o any Ohio researcher's library.

The information was collected from a great variety of resources including marriage records, gravestone inscriptions, local histories, newspaper abstracts, tax lists, settlements of estates, will abstracts, bible records, family histories, and land records. This data set contains p! age images from the following three books: Ohio Cemetery Records , Ohio Marriages, and Ohio Source Records. Originally published by the Genealogical Publishing Company, these books are comprised of articles originally appearing in two Ohio periodicals: The Old Northwest Genealogical Quarterly and The Ohio Genealogical Quarterly.

The records were primarily gathered from Maryland and Delaware churches and includ! e birth, baptism, marriage, and burial records.

For each person you will learn information about a life event, such as a baptism, marriage, or death. The information available will vary depending on the type of record. In marriage records, for example, you will find the marriage date, as well as the name of the bride and the groom. These records may also list the parents, place of residence, and/or witnesses of any or all people noted. Death records, on the other hand, can provide the name of the deceased and the date. Since this data set contains many different kinds of records, you may be able to find a great variety of information about an ancestor.

He recently purchased a new scanner and started scanning the negatives. To our delight, after 75+ years, the negatives still produced good quality scans. One was of our grandfather on his family's farm in Poland, dressed in a Polish uniform. The moral of the story is to never overlook anything; some answers are only hidden away, waiting for someone to discover them. Thanks to Carol Haszto for the Quick Tip.

It has always intrigued me how very much information is included in them and so this week, I thought I'd discuss a little about each of these era's military discharge documents... FULL ARTICLE - Continue Reading: http://www.ancestralfindings.com/freea8061.htm ========================================================= ==> "Color-Coded Census Sheets" ========================================================= I've color-coordinated the blank census forms for the different census years. 1930 census is printed on gold paper, 1920 is light blue, 1910 is light green, etc. I'm the kind of person who ends up with piles of paperwork scattered around me when I do my ancestry.com searches. Color-coded census sheets enable me to more easily locate which census year I'm looking for when I'm working on several families and want to compare details. Thanks to Dawn Dixon for the Quick Tip.
