Darke Co. Sources and Lookup Volunteers
I have listed here some of the major Darke County, Ohio, reference books that are available, although certainly not all. Many titles (some listed here) are now out of print. Most lookups are currently done informally on the the Darke Co. Discussion list hosted by Jane Barr Torres (see main page). Those listmembers doing lookups for the list do not always wish to be listed here.
If you own any Darke Co., Ohio, books, whether listed or not, and will do lookups, please let me know so you can be listed below. As you can see, volunteers and alternates are needed!
