Just to set the record straight: As stated, there is only the one
Huron County, Ohio Cemetery Inscriptions book, published by HCC/OGS,
1997. It is invaluable for genealogical research, and is the keystone
of our collection of Huron County, Ohio publications. We do own
Cemetery Inscriptions books for Seneca County, Ohio, and Erie County,
Ohio, but we use these books only infrequently in support of a Huron
County look up where a forebear in Huron County might have wandered
afield to an adjoining county (or vice versa). We don't, however,
take on look ups just from these two latter books.

Regards,

Ken Shute ()

THE INSCRIPTIONS BOOK IS OVER 1,000 PAGES OF AS ACCURATE AS HUMANLY
POSSIBLE, DATA OF THE HURON COUNTY CEMETERIES. KEN DOES HAVE ACCESS
