Goodmorning everyone! A new look-up volunteer has joined us..she is Phyliis
Franklin and her resource is Dr. J. J. Kidder's baby book, which she has
indexed. Dr. Kidder practiced in south eastern Jay County, office in
Salamonia, Madison Township, from 1896 to 1954 when he died. He delivered
babies in Jay County, Randolph County, Indiana, Darke County, and Mercer
County Ohio. Included in his records consistently was the father's name,
mother's maidian name, babies name and birthdate, time of birth, place of
birth, child's position in the family, i.e. 1st, 3rd etc. Other information
included but inconsistently was parent's place of birth, father's
occupation, babies weight and length. There were about 1500 entrys.
Also up this morning is a listing of cemetary inscpriptions from Winters
Cemetary, and a new photo in the album. The photo album is getting quite
popular and I may have to "re-jig" it as I expected some of you may find it
slow to load!
Hope you are all having a wonderful summer! I am looking forward to my
first ever trup to Jay County next weekend. I have very limited time but am
sure it will be worthwhile!
Cheers
