County, Ohio Naturalzation and Marriage Records in the University of
Cincinnati Archives. No Naturalization Indexes in my copy of the book. Only an index of applications to restore marriage records following the 1884 fire. The actual records were found in 1978 labeled "Miscellaneous Records" and are now stored in the University of Cincinnati Archives. "The individual files contain affidavits from ministers and aquaintances, usually giving the exact date and church of marriage. The name of the "restorer" is also given, and in several cases, this was a son or daughter restoring the parents' marriage record. |

Abstract of Book 1 & Book A Probate Record 1791-1826, Hamilton County~ The majority of these probate records deal with estates. The early records are not dated individually but dated according to the period the Court was in session. Probate records between 4 Jan 1826 & 16 Nov 1829 did not survive. Dates of death are almost never given. Besides the name of the deceased, the records may include some or all of the following: The estate administrator(s), bondsmen, amount of the bond, and appraisers. Some entries refer to wills, guardianships, real estate appraisals, petitions for partition of land when no will was left, or court orders for land sales. Land/legal descriptions were not abstracted. |

"I would like to offer to do lookups for Pilgrim United Church of Christ, Bridgetown; formerly First German Evangelical Protestant Church of Bridgetown (and a few other variations). I have access to the church record books, although I would probably like to have a couple things to look for at a time, and it may take some time to get them done. I believe the books start 1871 and end with 1980. All records past 1980 are on computer, I believe, and probably too recent to be of much use to anyone." |
