Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy
Ohio State Host Linda Blue 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
We regret that we are unable to perform personal
research for folks.
All data we come across will be added to this site.
We thank you for visiting and hope you'll come back again to view the
updates we make to this site.
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
