Henry County History Vol. 1 Photos
As of April 23, 2009, his database contains 300 of the more than 600 photos and captions that appear in Henry County, Ohio, Vol. 1. Of the three volumes, this is the least complete, but we are adding photos as quickly as we can scan them in. Owing to improvements in our equipment, the quality of these photos is significantly better than those in the other two volumes.
Henry County History Vol. 2 Photos
This database contains all the photos that appear in Henry County, Ohio, Vol. 2. The captions are keyword retrievable, which adds another tool you can use to search your ancestors. There are 525 photographs with captions, more or less. A browse feature has been added, but needs fine-tuning.
Henry County History Vol. 3 Photos
This database contains (as of Apri 19, 2009) about 385 of the more than 600 photos and captions that appear in Henry County, Ohio, Vol. 3. The browse feature for these photos works nicely, but needs some work yet. Please note: there are currently more captions than photos.
Early Obituaries Index
This database is an index of nearly 1800 obituaries from Henry County newspapers from 1852 to 1885.

Companion to the 1916 Henry County Farmers' Directory
Beginning with the May-June 1993 Newsletter, and running through the September-October 2001 Newsletter, the Genealogical Society published pages from the 1916 Henry County Farmers' Directory. We have finally located the companion map to the directory, which shows where people lived. When you see an entry like this:
SMITH, John (Mary) 3 ch farmer O 40a 2h 3c R1 McClure Dms 111 Ind tel.
it means that John SMITH is married to Mary, they have 3 children, and he is a farmer, owning 40 acres, 2 horses, and 3 cattle. He lives on Rural Route #1 outside McClure, Damascus Township, property 111. Click on the small map to the left to call up a larger map in a new browser window, then click on Damascus Township to see where property 111 is located. You can do the same for any township.
