[McCoy, Terry G. COL <mccoyt(a)eucom.mil>]

I'm also interested in the history of the Cincinnati and Covington area.
I'm especially interested in anything about my great-grandfather,
Charles Grafton, born in Oldenburg in 1827, who lived from about 1864 to
1870 in that area.  
One great site I have found useful is:
 http://apu.kentonlibrary.org/gen/gendb.php

It has a very user friendly search feature covering a number of data
bases.
Hope this helps.

Both of my parents were born and raised in Cincinnati and we currently
live in St. Louis.  My mom's ancestors first arrived there in 1835.  I
have done research in Cincinnati, but mostly I've done it from home in
St. Louis.  I have been frustrated, too, by the lack of records for
Cincinnati that are available online.  The Archdiocese of Cincinnati
takes a VERY long time to hear from and have a great many restrictions
and rules on requests.

I have a membership to Ancestry.com and they currently have two
Cincinnati directories that I know of.  One is from 1877 and the other
about 1895.  They also have Ohio deaths from 1908 through the 2000's.
Not all years available.  The earlier deaths only give a name and death
date.

The Family History Library offers the Cincinnati Catholic Cemetery
Statistics on microfilm.  Sometimes there is valuable info offered on
them, but like a death certificate, some of the info is only as good as
the informant.  But...a clue is a clue.

Our local public library has a vast offering of genealogy information
and they have some indexes to marriages, church burials, etc. that have
been written up on Hamilton County.

Good luck on your Cincinnati search!

Another good source is heritagequest.com.

Is available online via many local libraries.  Just have to have a
library card to use it.  AND IT IS FREE TO USE!  Has census info as well
as other.  And you can have a library card at many libraries-- even if
you don't live there.

Hallo,
ein Dietrich Mester hat um 1981 umfangreiche Chroniken geschrieben zu
-Iprump und Stickgras -Adelheide
-135 Jahre Haus und Hof in Annenheide
alles in und um Delmenhorst.
 
Vielleicht ist er einer der Nachfahren Ihres Hermann Heinrich Mester.
 
Die Chroniken, jede etwa 200 Seiten stark, wurden nicht gedruckt sondern
per Kopierer vervielf?ltigt. Eine Kopie liegt z.B. im Archiv der Oldb.  
Gesellschaft f?r Familienkunde im Staatsarchiv Oldenburg. 
 
Gru?
