Have you been researching your family history for a while? If so, do you have either photocopies or scanned images from books and other sources buried in your files? Unfortunately, I do.
Thus, I’m using my ‘Friday Finds’ blog posts to not only dig thru those old files and see what I have but to also share those finds with others. Today’s find comes from my folder of Igleheart research. My 4th great grandfather, John Thompson, married Sarah Iglehart in 1820 in Ohio county, Kentucky. At some point I found the book, Ohio County Kentucky Records Volume 1 by Michael L. Cook and Bettie A. Cummings Cook. Unfortunately, I didn’t photocopy a table of contents or introduction. Based on the pages I did photocopy, this book appears to be a transcription of marriage records.

It also appears that I was not aware of the FAN club method of researching since I did not photocopy all of the pages for the Igleheart or Thompson brides. Fortunately, others have submitted transcriptions of the marriage records to the Genweb archives for Ohio County AND those pages are still available on the Internet!
I also found a PDF file titled: Ohio County Unindexed Marriages by Jerry Long. Unfortunately, I did not find a digital copy of the book, Ohio County Kentucky Records Volume 1. According to World Cat, a copy of Ohio County Kentucky Records is in the Midwest Genealogy Center.
This index of marriage records will help me locate the records of these marriages in the county records. While I need to search for the marriage records for the siblings of John Thompson and Sarah Igleheart, I already have the record of their marriage.
I certify that the following persons have been married this year viz John Tomson to Sarah Iglehart on the 1st day of February 1820
