Master Cemetery Index
A new database has been added to the website listing the names found on all of the gravestones in Fairfield County, Ohio that have been read by the Fairfield Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society (FCC-OGS).
It does not include all of Forest Rose; only the old German Section which was read and published in our quarterly newsletter, The Fairfield Trace.
The Index is to be used in conjunction with the FCC-OGS published Cemetery Books. The first column in the file is the NAME on the stone and the second column is the CEMETERY BOOK where the tombstone information has been published. For further information or to use this data base, click on the RESEARCH tab at the top of this page and look for CEMETERY SURNAME INDEX;
or just click on CEMETERY INDEX.

FOUR NEW BOOKS!

Quadrennial Enumerations, Fairfield County, Ohio, Vol. IV, 1851
compiled by ALICE STEVENS – 129 pages, $19.00 (member price $17.10)


Quadrennial Enumerations, Fairfield County, Ohio, Vol. V, 1859
compiled by ALICE STEVENS – 131 pages, $18.00 (member price $16.20)

     Quadrennial Enumerations were listings of white male inhabitants over 21 years taken in Ohio counties supposedly every four years from at least 1819 to about 1911. The enumerations were to be arranged alphabetically by township and were to have included name, address, race, occupation and whether the male was a freeholder of land in that county. These lists can be used as substitutes for or as a compliment to the census. They are available for 30 counties in Ohio; but most of the years have not survived.
    The enumerations of Fairfield County are on microfilm at the Ohio Historical Society in Columbus, in the Historical Room of the Fairfield County District Library in Lancaster, and at the Fairfield County Genealogical Library, also in Lancaster. This microfilm includes the years 1831, 1839, 1847, 1851 and 1859. All years will be transcribed and published by Chapter volunteers.
Fairfield County Ohio Marriages from 1869 - 1879.
209 pages, $25.00 (member price $22.50)
