Hello all. I have completed my latest book, "Jay Co. Newspaper Clippings,
1871-1887". This does not include all newspapers between those years. It
includes only those newspapers which have previously been microfilmed.
These were the ones which were available to me. I took any news items from
them which had genealogical value, that includes all obituaries, marriage
notices, and many other tid-bits of info, such as relatives who were
visiting, folks that were ill, and much more. These are not abbreviated
versions of the items from the paper, but are the complete obituary,
marriage notice, etc., per the newspaper. The book is indexed, and I have
placed the index on the Jay Co. webpage. A link to it is located on the
main page of the Jay Co. page at HYPERLINK
"http://www.rootsweb.com/~injay/"http://www.rootsweb.com/~injay/ . You'll
find the link under the "Research Assistance" heading on the page, or can go
directly to the index by going to HYPERLINK
"http://www.rootsweb.com/~injay/research/JayCoNewsIndex1.htm"http://www.root
sweb.com/~injay/research/JayCoNewsIndex1.htm
There are 1,450 surnames in the index. I have been working on this book for
some time now, and hope to do more in the near future. The obituaries, and
other news items in the book are full of fantastic genealogical data, and I
am very proud of this book. Questions or comments should be directed to me
