Ohio Historical Society Archives/Library Blog

To better serve your genealogy needs, we are conducting a survey to determine the interest level in a class concerning researching women in the ancestral tree. Please take a moment to complete the survey so we can get a solid understanding of what is needed to conduct a successful workshop. At the end of the survey please take the opportunity to suggest subjects and ideas you would like to see offered in a workshop at the Ohio Historical Society.

Thank you for your time and consideration.  Here is the link to the survey:

The Ohio Historical Society Archives/Library (OHS), the Ohio Genealogical Society (OGS) and the Franklin County Genealogical and Historical Society (FCGHS) jointly offer a series of programs designed to introduce family history researchers to the many records and resources available to them.

The workshops will offer an in-depth introduction to the basic methods, tools and sources for getting started in your family history research.  These programs are recommended to those who have not previously had genealogical instruction or who are looking to refresh or jump-start their genealogical research skills. Continuing education hours can be credited to teachers.
