{"title":"Ohio: Greene County","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"101-k0138","title":"Greene County, Ohio Births Prior to 1869","description":"\u003cp\u003eGreene County, Ohio was created in 1803 and is part of the vast area once known as the Northwest Territory. Although probate and land records begin with the creation of the county, civil recording of births did not begin until 1869. There is 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 alphabetically and typically give the name of the child, the date and place of birth, the names of the parents, and a citation to the source of the data. This large collection provides birth data on about 7,000 people as derived from several hundred sources.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArthur R.

Art Kilner, a private investigator by profession, has gathered together an astounding amount of material about every aspect of Greene County history. The old railroad town and county seat, Xenia, figures prominently in this work. Discover through this series of essays and photographs the history of the county's churches, schools, covered bridges, cemeteries, historical markers, hotels, banks, opera houses, courthouses, stores, factories, mills, dairies, abandoned businesses, festivals, historic homes, log houses and Indian burial mounds. A series of short biographical sketches remembers the \"People who made a difference.\" A complete listing of teachers in Greene County, 1800-1900, and the schools in which they taught, is a valuable resource for family historians. (Greene County was the destination of thousands of immigrants, especially from Germany and Ireland, in the 1800s.) There is also a brief physical description of the cities, towns and villages of Greene County, and a discussion of the origin of Xenia street names. Fires, floods and tornadoes have devastated various parts of Greene County, but the people have always been able to rebuild their lives. Writers, poets and underworld scoundrels alike have called Greene County their home. If you still haven't found a topic that interests you, try reading the report on the provenance of the abandoned outhouses that still dot the county. This volume is a wonderful keepsake for anyone who has ever visited or lived in Greene County. Lavishly illustrated with approximately 150 photographs and a county map; includes an every name index.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArthur R.
