Well...

*sigh* This weekend wasn't as fruitful as I'd hoped...

The National Archives is broken into regional branches, and unbeknownst to me, they have only material specific to their region, excepting U.S. Federal Census data... The USFC data I can get off Ancestry.com with greater ease, and it seems that my local NARA branch covers only the mid-atlantic states (which means zippo about Ohio).

I ran on over to the Free Library to see if I could access their atlases, but naturally, the map department closes an hour before the rest of the joint -- which was precisely the time I arrived.

Don't get me wrong... Some gelatto, some food, and chilling with Hal Sparks was lovely, but I'd hoped to get so much more accomplished for what I've spent this weekend.

And now I have to do taxes tomorrow... Grr.

One highlight was that my Dayton contact said he'd likely be able to conduct the research-by-proxy in about two weeks, so hopefully, I'll have the confirming data soon.

Anyway, a bit sleep-deprived now, so, off to sleep. Peace to all you random passersby! :)
