Hardesty's History of Monroe County, Ohio

This morning I uploaded to the MonroeCountyOhio folder of MyBox an "Index of Personal History Department" created by yours truly from History of Monroe County, Ohio, published by H.H. Hardesty and Co., in 1882. The file, an HTML table, is named, Hardesty.htm.

I hope you like how it turned out as much as I do. Perhaps I'll post a short description of the steps I went through to create this file on this blog. You might be surprised at how easy it was once I had the right free tool on my computer.

I regret that I didn't make this finding aide available sooner in the HTML format which can easily be viewed with your browser. Sometimes it takes me a long time to find a way to accomplish what I want to do.

There is also a "text" file of extractions from other pages of the Hardesty publication (Monroe.txt) available on MyBox. It's been there since December 2010. The extractions are paragraphs that were of interest to me during my active days of researching. I'd forgotten about this document. (My memory issues are becoming more evident with the passing months.)

BTW, I own a copy of the History. I'm willing to do look-ups for friends who have access to MyBox.

Yoho, Peter and Mary Jane McFadden

Most Wanted

William V. Dean, Sr. provided information about the Peter and Mary Jane (McFadden) Yoho family of Monroe Co., OH. As of January 1999 (still a mystery as of February 2011) we have been unable to link this branch of the Yoho family to the Yoho family tree.

Today I created a Most Wanted folder under the Yoho folder on MyBox. I added information about this Most Wanted family that was available until October 2008 on my AOL genealogy website.

Who will solve this linkage problem?

Yoho, Samuel and Elizabeth Preble

I uploaded a five generation descendant chart for Samuel Yoho and Elizabeth Preble to MyBox. This report, in HTML format, includes the family of Charles and Anna (Brown) Yoho of Vermilion Co., IL. This report was available prior to October 2008 on my AOL website. This upload is part of my project to salvage work I did in the past.

Did you know there are two ways to spell Vermilion? When you are talking about the county in Illinois use one "L" and when you are talking about the neighboring county in Indiana use two "LL."

Members of the Henthorn family also lived in Danville, Vermilion Co., IL.

Access to MyBox is by invitation.

Yoho Burials

This afternoon I uploaded YOHOCEM.HTM to MyBox. This is a report I created about twelve years ago of Yoho Burials - with Cemetery Names Identified. There are over 420 burials listed. The report could be useful if you plan a cemetery visit or if you don't know where someone was buried.

The report is best viewed by downloading it to your browser for viewing or printing.

Johannas Yoho and Susanna Catherine Lau

Today I uploaded, YOHO1.HTM and YOHO2.HTM to MyBox on the Box.net.

This is a two-part, four generation, descendant chart for the family of Johannas Yoho and Susanna Catherine Lau in the HTML format, suitable for download and viewing with your web browser. There are approximately 24 pages in Part One and 9 pages in Part Two, if you decide to print the report.

To download click on the "Down" arrow at the right of the file information. Then click on the "Download" button. Don't use the Box.net "preview" function because it doesn't work as well.

For many years this webpage was available on my AOL website. After making a few changes I'm happy to be able to make it available again to those who have access to the appropriate folders on MyBox.

The file resides in the Yoho folder which is one of the folders in the Marshall-Wetzel-WV folder on MyBox.

Salvaging My Genealogy Work

When AOL dropped free website support at the end of 2008 it was a disaster as far as sharing my genealogy information was concerned. Since then I have tried several other ways to share. I created two Google blogs: Henthorn Genealogy News and Henthorn Genealogy Obits. More recently I opened an account on Box.net where I share information in MyBox with collaborators to whom I grant access. The blogs are public and MyBox is by invitation only.

I came up with a way to salvage, and share, some of my genealogy data that's in HTML format. With minor modifications I can get it ready to upload to MyBox where my collaborators can download and view the page with their own browser. I've tested the idea and found it works nicely with Firefox. It's like having a website that can only be viewed by folks who have been granted access.

To test the idea I uploaded Seven Generations of Thomas and Elizabeth (Baskins) McCoy to the MonroeCountyOhio folder on MyBox. Collaborators with access to this folder can test out how it works. When you have the McCoy.htm file name displayed on the screen don't click to preview the file. You can't see the entire webpage from the "preview."

Rather,

• Find the "down" arrow to the right of the file name.
• Click on that arrow.
• Next click on the "Download" line.
• A dialog box pops up on the screen

Chose

• "Save" the file on your computer, or
  
• "View" the file with your browser.

If you have any problems understanding the steps let me know and I will try to help out.

Your feedback about your experience will be appreciated.

Today I created a 172-page PDF report from one of my RootsMagic files. This report is about the family of Thomas Okey and Elizabeth Stockley. The report includes members of the Henry Yoho and Anne Phillips families. These families have roots in Monroe county, Ohio.

I uploaded the file to the MonroeCountyOhio folder on My Box where it is available to those whom I have granted access. Access is by invitation only.

John Henthorn and Frances Low

This morning I created three PDF reports for the family of John Henthorn and Frances Low of Uniontown, Fayette county, Pennsylvania.

Two of the reports are for smaller family groups within the John Henthorn and Frances Low family.

• John Henthorn and Frances Low (379 pages)
• David Jennings II and Mary Henthorn (213 pages)
• James and Mary Quinn (27 pages)

Welcome To My Box

Welcome to those folks I invited to have collaborator access to my genealogy information on My Box.

If you have any questions about how it works or any comments about the information in the files I'm sharing don't hesitate to send me an Email or post a private Message on Facebook.

I hope you will find something of interest in the material I'm sharing.

Box.Net

Box.Net

For several days I have been working with a floppy disk that contains "text" files about the "Other Henthorns." "Other Henthorns" includes Henthorn families that I am not related to in this country. That is to say, there is a good possibility that we are related via our ancestors in England. After some minor edits I'm uploading most of these files to My Box account on Box.Net. If you are already a registered collaborator watch your Email inbox for automatic notification messages or periodically check My Box to see if there is anything of interest.

Access to the files and folders of My Box is by invitation. I am open to suggestions or requests for granting access. Collaborators must be known to me.
