This is a great database and deserves a look even if you don't have anyone
in the Miami Valley. It is the sort of database that any county can create.
It combines all sorts of vital records in one place. It is a model for
everyone.
The database covers several counties and references even the dates in the
county history.
It was created by a single person, Joe Bosserman, and has been around for
as long as I can remember. There are some bits of information, mainly
marriage records which were mis-transcribed by the WPA but they are minor.
The database was in danger of going under for lack of support. It can also
be accessed vis Ohio Genealogical who was saying that they were going to
take it under their wing.
Despite what it says, the data was collected by Joe. I remember when he
first got his database program.
The database gets so much traffic that it is on two servers. If one isn't
accessible, try the other.
The Adams in Pierceton are related to the Miami County Adams in
Covington -first cousins.

a BIG fan
