Civil War
A benefit for OGS members, the Ohio Civil War Center has resources about Ohio’s role in the Civil War. The Ohio Civil War Genealogy Journal has excellent articles. The Society of Civil War Families of Ohio is devoted to the Civil War.
African American
African American research is challenging. First names do not always appear in census records until 1870. Before 1865, enslaved African Americans were legal property, and “free” blacks were discriminated against. One must adopt different research strategies but the challenge can be rewarding.
Cemetery Research Tools
Cemetery research tools include laws, OGS library resources, preservation guides, and other relevant resources.
Library Special Collections
Includes yearbooks, city and county directories, and research guides to OGS’s collections. Surname searches help you find ancestor charts, family group sheets, and manuscripts in our archive. You may request photocopies through the OGS Copy Service.
Webinars
The Society is working on technology to present our own webinars. In the meantime, utilize these past webinars that provide useful information for all genealogists.
External Links
Includes external sites that offer digitized and off-line records for Ohio and national collections. Other sites offer catalogs, collection information, and published articles about methods and research tools.
