Please know, I am not an "expert" at
researching in Hamilton Co. I have lived here all of my life & have
been interested in Genealogy for I guess near 30 years now. Part of my
husband's family was here when it was known as the "Northwest
Territory". One branch of my own in 1842. I guess it was 1998 or so,
after being told the internet was a great place to do family research,
I finally obtained service. I remember my struggles at first,
navigating the WEB, & I know trying to show my mom how (w/o
success) so I've tried to set up the pages on this site so that you can
always find your way back (look for the "Back to:" at the bottom of
each page).
More importantly, even though I've
been researching here for many years, I don't have all of the
answers. I can only go by my own experience. I have tried to set
up pages to guide you, most importantly is the Hamilton Co. Resource
page listing every place from the County Court house to the local TV
stations; Published
Hamilton Co. Resources page, which lists every book I have found
about Hamilton Co., & if still available, where you can purchase;
the Look-ups
page, where people who own some of those books have "volunteered" to do
look-ups for you; and I've tried to include assorted guides in other
sections, Newspapers
on getting copies of obits from the Library, etc.
I have gotten e-mails wanting more
info. abt people mentioned here on this web site, I don't necessarily
have that information, the person who contributed the information may
not even know anything more about the individuals listed,...............
A GREAT place to go, & I have
directions on the Main page, but will list again here, is the Hamilton
Co. list at rootsweb. There are many subscribers who have many of the
published references, many who frequent the library more often than I
seem to have time for these days. Not that I don't want to hear from
you, but if you are looking for something on a specific person or even
many questions about researching in Hamilton Co., the mail list or the
message boards are the place to post those questions, or to search the
archives of the list or message boards to see if the answer has already
been given.
Instructions for subscribing,
searching or browsing the Hamilton Co. mail list can be found here:

Again, if
you have anything you can contribute here, transcriptions from books no

records, pictures of tombstones etc., anything that might help
another or perhaps even help you find a long lost cousin, please, let
me know.
Tina Hursh
began this
website in 1999 as part of the OHGenWeb Project. Patti Graman assisted
her in the early years. In 2000 I started preparing the History of
Hamilton County, Ohio, Henry A. Ford, A. M. and Mrs. Kate B. Ford, 1881
with the help of many transcribers to place online as part of the
Hamilton Co. OHGenweb Project. & joined Tina in 2003 as
co-coordinator for the Website. If it weren't for Tina's guidance &
help, I never would have known a single thing about setting up pages or
how to get them online! I thank Tina for all of her help over the
years. Please also let me know if you find something that
needs
to be corrected or a link that is broken. I periodically try to go
through and check everything, but with the internet what is here today
maybe gone tomorrow!
