Subject: [OL] Research in Cincinnati, OH & Covington, KY


> I am looking for advice on researching in Cincinnati and the Covington, KY

> I've noticed some listers mention cemetery records and city directories in
> Cincy and Covington, KY.  Are any of these resources online?   Would a

> I know that my ancestor John Henry Niemeyer applied for citizenship in 
> Cincy
> in 1844, and was born in Germany in 1820.  He married Catherine Maria Kerk 
> (
> Kark / Karch) in 1846 in Cincy.  I believe he had other family in the 
> Cincy
> and Covington, KY area because a Frederick Niemeyer was a witness to the
> wedding, but don't know if he was a brother/ cousin or if related at all.
> John Henry and Catherine moved to Teutopolis, IL in 1847.  Family stories
> passed on says there was family that stayed in Cincy and the Covington, KY
> area.   Other names I want to look for in the Cincy area are Catherine
> Maria' Kerk's parents  John Jacob Kerk  and Maria Adeleide Kerk also known
> to be in Cincy in the 1840's.  One of the family stories mentioned loosing
> some family in the cholera epidemic that swept through the city in the 
> late
> 1840's.
