September 2021 - New Projects!
-
Reconstruction of the 1890 Census for Warren County, Ohio
-
Wouldn't this be a great resource to have? An article in the September / October 2021 issue of Family Tree Magazine has prompted a renewed interest in this project. The Southern California Genealogical Society is also undertaking this and they have some great suggestions. We are currently making a list of record resources to check for 1890 information on residents of Warren County and hope to begin work on this soon. This is a project that volunteers could potentially help with from home. Linda Eckert is coordinating volunteers for this project.

House Histories
-
We have had several requests for house histories and Linda Eckert is creating a special team of volunteers to assist with these inquiries. If you have an interest in helping with this research, please contact us. This could eventually lead to a book for publication!
