I'm researching my 5th great-grandfather Thomas Kirk who died in 1846 in Licking County, and who I thought was all but erased from history following the 1875 courthouse fire. Mr. Markley has been a tremendous resource combing through old Common Pleas Court Journals (no index, mind you), and pulled up some treasures. I wonder if the County has plans for any of these materials to be digitized? At any rate, your post is prompting me to take a second look at the partition records after I didn't see the Kirk name in the volume's index.Family Sleutherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584864778317578299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394184517128570144.post-21298356318083976572014-03-13T09:20:44.685-07:002014-03-13T09:20:44.685-07:00On behalf of the staff at the Licking County Recor...On behalf of the staff at the Licking County Records and Archives, thank you all for your kind words. We greatly enjoy assisting you in your genealogical research. Bill Markley, our Reference Archivist, is available to assist you. You are welcome to call in advance or visit us in person.

Buena Vista St. in Newark, behind the county jail. The staff (especially Mr. Bill Markley)is amazingly helpful. As indicated in the post, they hold a range of obscure records -- the kinds of things that are too often overlooked by genealogists and micro-historians. As an example, I recently spent a morning working with the "Poor House" and "Lunacy" records. If you believe that genealogy consists of more than online clicking on shaking green leaves, then this is the place for you! Call or email before you go; but it is a great resource.STICKLE ONShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14758631948223906637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394184517128570144.post-80224769942190766572013-07-05T06:25:20.263-07:002013-07-05T06:25:20.263-07:00Licking County government websie has a nice Guide ...Licking County government websie has a nice Guide to Licking County Court Records:<br /><br />http://www.lcounty.com/records/RecordsSearch/frmCourtGuideIntro.aspx<br /><br />Under "Using Court Records" the first two links are to lists of some records by location.

Shelley, I knew about the archives but had not studied their list closely (first link after their name in the post). Even then the obvious did not dawn on me until I had the indexes and asked about the fate of the books!Harold Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217640113047709249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394184517128570144.post-46728917085225490352013-07-01T20:15:06.214-07:002013-07-01T20:15:06.214-07:00Thank you, thank you, Harold!

How did you find that out? I was actually looking at one of my Licking County families today and wondering if there was something I missed, so I'm excited to explore this resource. And I agree with Myrt-this would make a great addition to the FamilySearch Wiki.
