Dear Members,

The new OGS Library at 611 State Route 97 West, Bellville, Ohio, about 1 mile east of I-71, is now open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. The books are on the shelves, the furniture is all now in place, and WE FINALLY HAVE WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS! You may bring your own computer or use one of ours in the computer room.

Researchers in our library can access the following sites: ogs.org, Ancestry.com, Heritagequestonline.com, Footnote.com, Newspaperarchive.com, genealogybank.com, Newenglandancestors.org, and labs.familysearch.org. Please ask the volunteer for assistance.

OGS' new phone number is 419-886-1903. Since our new location is not on maps yet, a recent visitor suggested that setting your GPS locator to 595 State Route 97 West, Bellville, Ohio, will get you right to OGS' driveway.

Sunda Anderson Peters, President
