Have you tried looking in other counties? The one thing that surprised me
the most was finding how much these people moved around. And they did move
around. Try the Fayette County Page from Rootsweb, hosted by a long time
friend.
The counties which surround Darke include: Mercer, Auglaize,
Shelby, Miami, Montgomery and Preble. Almost all of my ancestors were
living in one or the other of these counties at one time.
The Bureau of Land Management is a good place to look for ancestors.
Cyndislist is one of my favorite sites. This is the very first site I ever
visited, and I've gone back again and again. This is a great reference and
learning site.
