Hello and welcome to our new web site!! 

     Our genealogy research centers around the McLean, McLain / McClain, North and Davis families of Athens County, Ohio, and surrounding areas.

It's taken quite some time to get back on-line. I believe the new space will serve both our needs, and yours, much better than our previous site (oorg.bizland.com). All of the information you're used to accessing at the old site will still be available here, as well as new data and photos. We're also working on making the database and the Infirmary Transcriptions easier to use. Once that system is up and running, you'll be able to (hopefully) sort the records by name, birth, location, parents, etc. It should be a fabulous tool and I'm very excited about it!

     I will continue to post updates about the data on the site, as well as progress for the new database functions, to the ATHENS COUNTY mailing list. { To subscribe send "subscribe" to ohathens-l-request@rootsweb.com (mail mode) or ohathens-d-request@rootsweb.com (digest mode. }

     Sharing data, and photos, as well as sources is an important part of growing everyone's research. I am always more than willing to share whatever data and info I have. I believe in sharing sources openly....after all, we all want valid data. Without sources, data is valuable, but still speculative. Not everyone has the time or resources to do all the leg work...but they still want to know where they came from. I understand that, and appreciate the interest that they have in their family heritage. So I share and share alike. I try to not share data on living individuals though, for privacy reasons.

    All I ask, is for the same courtesy to be shown by you. I try to keep all of my emails, and when new data comes along in someone's line, I usually try to let them know via email too....but I'm a busy mom of three kids...so checking the web site is the best bet for staying current.

     Please feel free to email me at any time with questions or comments about the family lines or the web site. Happy Hunting!!

                                                       Sincerely,
