Huron County Directory at the The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County

City and county directories are one of the many helpful items housed at the Digital Library of The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. One that I found very useful was the 1908 Directory of Huron County.

On page 75 of the Huron County Directory are the listings for the surname Parker. Frank Parker, in North Fairfield, and Reuben Parker of Monroeville, are both brothers of my ancestor Joshua Parker.

If you have any ancestors in Huron County, Ohio, check out this 1908 Directory which is available for browsing online!
