Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy
Welcome to our new Ohio state host Linda Dietz
Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data for
the free use of all researchers.
We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project
be as successful as it can be. If you are interested in joining Genealogy Trails, view our Volunteer Page for further information and then contact Kim.
(Enough knowledge to make a basic webpage and a desire to transcribe data
is required)
If you would like to be kept informed of our state and county website updates, subscribe to any or all of our mailing lists
NOTICE:
We regret that our former host Sharon Wick removed all the data that you researchers have contributed to these
sites when she resigned from our group.
We'll be rebuilding the sites from our server backups, and hopefully we'll be as good as new again. The data that
Ms. Wick contributed will not be included on these sites since she has revoked her permission to display it, and
it has always been our group's policy to remove a contributor's data when we are asked to.
The rest of our Ohio hosts are continuing to work on their sites and are committed to continuing to make these
sites the best they can be.
If you have data you would like to have added to these sites, email Linda, our new Ohio state host.
OHIO was admitted to Statehood on March 1, 1803. It was the first state admitted to the Union under the Northwest
Ordinance.
Ohio's State Flag was adopted in 1902.
The Ohio Burgee, as the swallowtail design is properly called, was designed by John Eisemann. The large blue
triangle represents Ohio's hills and valleys, and the stripes represent the original states of the union; the 4
stars added to the peak of the triangle symbolize that Ohio was the 17th state admitted to the union. The
white circle with its red center not only represents the "O" in Ohio, but also suggests Ohio's famous
nickname, "The Buckeye State".
The origin of state's name was from the Iroquois Indian word for "good river".
Native Americans in today's Ohio included the Shawnee, Iroquois,
Miami's, and Wyandots
Eight U.S. presidents hailed from Ohio at the time of their elections, earning the state the nickname of "Mother
of Presidents". The seven presidents born in Ohio were Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield,
Benjamin Harrison (grandson of William Henry Harrison), William McKinley, William Howard Taft and Warren G. Harding
(William Henry Harrison lived most of his life in Ohio, though he was born in VA)
The Capitol of Ohio is COLUMBUS, Franklin Co., Ohio
