2007 OGS Summer Genealogy Workshop

24-29 June 2007, OGS Headquarters, Mansfield

The Ohio Genealogical Society announced its annual summer genealogy workshop to be held in Mansfield at The Society’s library. This year the workshop will feature nationally known speakers who will cover many topics of interest to Ohio and other researchers such as cemeteries, land records, church records, vital records, internet update, immigration, and military records. Presentations will also cover Pennsylvania, Virginia, New England, and German, Italian, and Scots-Irish research among others. The workshop will have problem-solving time after each session and a chance to ask questions of the experts.

OGS also announced that the OGS library would be open late Sunday through Thursday evenings only for the workshop participants. A round table dinner will be held Wednesday evening led by Genealogical Speakers Guild President, Shirley Hodges.
