NEW

A search engine has been added to the FCC-OGS website. It can be used to look for all references to any word within the entire website including surnames, first names, E-mail addresses, and locations . For convenience it can be accessed from the Index, Research, Surname and Queries pages.

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.
