Hi Karen, Just saw your site and wanted to let you know of another good OH resource for people. On my site: http://unclaimedancestors.com/wealthys-diary/, I host the diary of Wealthy Harp as she traveled around OH in the early 1920's. The compilers have included photos and an index of all the people mentioned in her diary (over 500)! It may be helpful to your readers.
Thanks,
Jodi
