Heritage Books, Inc.. New. (1996) 2010. Trade Paperback. 236 pages. The author's search for his wife's German ancestors turned into this collection of known first-generation German immigrants to Marion County, Ohio. In order to be included in this study one had to have emigrated from a German-speaking region of Europe between 1823 and 1900, and lived in Marion County for a time. The study does not include those who migrated from eastern states two or three generations after the initial emigration from Europe. Here, Mr. Potts has compiled an alphabetical list of immigrants—when possible headed by the German spelling of their name, but accompanied by other various Americanized spellings which he was able to establish—which includes such data as the immigrant's date and place of birth, parents' names, spouse's name, and date and place of marriage. Ancestors of the immigrants are listed alphabetically in the second part of the book. The author's intent is to… Read More

Heritage Books. New. (1988) 2009. Trade Paperback. 227 pages. Green County, Ohio, was created in 1803 and is part of the vast area once known as the North West Territory. Although probate and land records begin with the creation of the county, civil recording of births did not begin until 1869. There is thus a lack of any central source for this vital information over the first sixty-six years of the county's history. This volume attempts to correct the situation by bringing together records of births prior to 1869 as culled from a multitude of sources. While much of the data has been taken from secondary sources such as family and county histories, cemetery inscriptions, and obituaries, a great deal of the information has been taken from original sources recorded at about the time of the birth, such as Bible records and church records. Thus, this volume should be of great use to genealogical and historical researchers interested in the Greene County area. Entries are arranged… Read More

New. 2010. Trade Paperback. 58 pages. "As can be quickly recognized by examining the following abstracts, indenture or apprenticeship records can be some of the most valuable and informative records ever encountered by the genealogical researcher. It appears that the majority of the children who were being bound out were from poor families, or were without one of both of their parents. In most cases, an accurate date of birth is available for the child, and frequently the name of a parent(s) or guardian is provided along with places of residence. ...An index to all the indentured children follows the abstracts. Names of parents, guardians, county or township officials, masters and witnesses were not indexed.” .
