Lookup Volunteers

When asking for a lookup, please provide as much information as possible, giving full names and dates if possible. Be sure to include which reference you are referring to when sending in your request and put the words "Franklin County Lookup" in your subject line. Please do not send in a blanket request, for example: looking for all of the Jones in Franklin County-we are volunteers, not paid researchers! Your request should be limited to one name per request and please be sure to thank the volunteer for their time!

  • Amos Kreider Stauffer's "A Genealogical Record of the Crider - Kreider Family" which included information on many Franklin County families that married into the Kreider/Crider family.
  • Four reports of the Committee on Kreider-Greider Genealogy (from the 1930s).
  • I am currrently putting together a list of the people buried in the Coble graveyard in St. Thomas. I suspect this has already been done by the local Historical Society, but we are enjoying looking at all the stones and trying to figure out how each person fit into the Coble family (my grandmother's line). We are photographing the gravestones and trying to decipher all of the inscriptions.
  • I also have a history of the Besecker family of Franklin County put together by my aunt.
