It took Dan Jungclas only four years of research to uncover 400 years of
his family's history.
He has learned, for example, that his earliest known
ancestor, Curt Jungclas, was born in 1575 in Germany and started a bakery. It
still flourishes in 16 locations, and still remains in family's hands.
Anyone interested in Dan's ancestry can now view the
Jungclas family tree - both German and American branches - online.
But Cincinnatians interested in their own ancestry will
be even more intrigued by Dan's Web page - the only one that focuses on local
genealogical resources, Northern Kentucky's as well Hamilton County's.
Here for example, you will discover links to church,
birth and cemetery records for Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties.
Now residing in Chicago, Dan still calls Cincinnati home,
despite the fact that his family left Loveland when he was 4 years old.
He still has relatives here, but what he says that what
inspires him about this area - and led him to key genealogical home page on
Greater Cincinnati - is the treasure of local information that can be retrieved.
"Some cities bury their records." He reports, "but
Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky have had the foresight to make this rich and
wonderful heritage available."
Dan credits the Hamilton County Chapter of the
Genealogical Society and the Cincinnati Historical Society for having such
wonderful resources, many of which are cited on his page.
He is particularly impressed by the fact that the
University of Cincinnati library and the Hamilton County library allow searches
from anywhere in world via modem. In particular, the Hamilton County and
Covington libraries allow online users to type in surnames to search newspaper
articles.
Dan also urges users to take advantage of the
genealogical information provided by TriState Online.
