This index contains the names of over 45,800 children who entered the Children's Home of Cincinnati, Ohio between April 1864, and December 1919. Of those children who entered, only a small portion ( 11%) were surrendered and placed in foster homes or adopted. A great deal of family information was recorded when the children entered the home, which makes this a valuable source for family history researchers, as well as those researching social conditions in the late 19th Century.For those children that were surrendered, subsequent documents record where the child was placed, and what happened to them in their new homes, sometimes for up to 20 years, until they reached adulthood. If the child was legally adopted and given a new name, these are indexed by both their birth name and adopted name to make it easier for the researcher to correlate.

This index contains the names of over 30,100 individuals who emigrated from German-speaking areas to Cincinnati and Hamilton County, Ohio, and were referenced in various records between 1840 and 1929. The source material for this work include newspaper death notices, cemetery records, fraternal organization records, church baptism and burial records, emigration records found in German websites, and published histories of Hamilton County, Ohio.The publication contains the name of the immigrant, the date of the record and page number to lead the researcher to the original source record, their age, and the indicated place of birth. Many of these towns are not in present-day Germany, but are locations where many German-speaking immigrants originated (e.g., Switzerland, Poland, Austria, Hungary, etc.). In the case where a woman's maiden name is recorded, it has been extracted and these names are sorted in a separate index for easy cross-reference. Due to the size of the publication, it has been divided into two softbound books.

This new index has been compiled from the death and burial records of twenty-four churches in Hamilton County, Ohio. It contains nearly 11,000 deaths recorded in the death and burial registers of individual priests and ministers before 1850. Although index entries vary considerably in detail from church to church and year to year, a particular entry may contain any of the following valuable information: full name and maiden name (where applicable) of the deceased, names of parents, surviving spouse, date of death, age at time of death and date of burial. Entries are alphabetized by surname and are coded with a letter or letters corresponding to a key of churches, allowing researchers to consult the original records for clarification; an "*" preceding the church code denotes an original record containing birth information for the deceased. An alphabetical listing of maiden names and corresponding married names follows the index. Hamilton County, Ohio, Church Death Records, 1811-1849 is intended to supplement the cemetery extractions published in the Hamilton County Burial Records series (also published by Heritage Books, Inc.). Although these church registers do not provide a complete record of Hamilton County deaths and burials for this time period, they can be used to fill in gaps in the official record and suggest new avenues for genealogical research. This volume is particularly valuable for family researchers whose ancestors may have passed through Hamilton County during the western migration but were not residents. The deaths of transient pioneer families are often unaccounted for in county court and cemetery records and were seldom noted in the obituaries of Cincinnati's newspapers; in some cases church registers are the only record of the deaths of these individuals.
