The following pages and links all contain data of genealogical value in Bloom Twp., Fairfield Co., Ohio. This township, in western Fairfield County, consists of the towns/villages of Lithopolis, Greencastle, Jefferson, Slough, and Galesburgh. This township, established in 1805, is known as township 14 of Range 20 and is banked by Violet township on the north, Greenfield township on the east, Amanda township on the south, and Franklin Co., Ohio on the west. Note: Portions of what is now Canal Winchester in Madison Twp., Franklin Co., Ohio, were once within the boundaries of Bloom township.
Information was gleaned from a variety of sources; individual researchers, church, cemetery, birth, death and marriage records, census, etc. Trying to put all these families together is not an easy process :) Your help in documenting these sources even further is appreciated! This database surpassed the 30,000 mark in the summer of 2006. The database is actually the data within a genealogy program that I then produce a "gedcom" of and turn into html (web pages) for the website. There are 1000s of pages it produces. It does NOT include the 100 or so other pages on this website such as census extractions, cemetery listings, etc. To search for more pages with your surnames, use the site-search engines below.

FreeFind and Google Site Search Engines
This site has a huge genealogy database (gedcom) where individuals are linked to parents, siblings, etc. You can search that database by using one of the two main links ("surnames" and "individuals") above. These two site-search engines (Google and FreeFind) will search the genealogy (gedcom) database, too, but not as efficiently as the indexes above, as they're not geared specifically to the genealogy program. These two site-search boxes for Google and FreeFind will also search the multitude of other pages such as pages with cemetery extractions, census or tax lists, guest book archives, and any of the over 2600 pages on this site.Be sure when using the Google search engine that you click the tab to search just "www.foorgenealogy.com" or it will search the entire web.
