President's Message

The 2005 Ohio Genealogical Society annual conferencein April was a fantastic event. There were great speakers,many genealogists to talk with, and a large exhibit hall forshopping for genealogical books and supplies. The OhioHistorical Society was present with copies the newlyreleased indexes and rolls of microfilm for deathcertificates from 1944 through 1953. Their room wasconstantly busy as genealogists searched for theirrelatives' death certificates. At twenty-five cents percopy, it was a bargain, especially since it saved a trip toColumbus.

If you have never been to an OGS conference, youhave missed a great learning and shopping opportunity.Our chapter had a table in the exhibit hall manned byMissy Derrenberger, our treasurer, for much of theweekend. We decided to take just a couple copies of ourolder books and more copies of our newcr books so thatit was easier to manage. As a conference special, weoffered free shipping ofany ofour books purchased at the

• conference. [See the website at www.ogS.org for detailson next year's conference. I hope you will plan to attend.]

The Akron Public Library now has copies of themicrofilm of the death records indexes and certificatesfrom 1908 through 1953. Their hours of operation aremuch longer than the Ohio Historical Society, so youmight consider researching in their new facility to obtainthose death certificates from that time period.

There were no First Families of Richland Countyapplications received this year, but we're looking forwardto approving several next year. I hope that yourapplication is among those we receive this year. If youneed an appl ication blank, request one from the chapterat the address above. The cost is $15.00 when you submitthe completed application and only current chaptermembers may apply. A beautiful pin, a nice certificate,and the pride of honoring your ancestors will he yourreward.

AI our May meeting Sarah Davis, Richland CountyRecorder, presented a program about her duties and therecords found in her office. She also informed us that on orabout July I the index and digitized images of the county'sdeeds will be available online. You may access them atwww.ohiorecorders.com/and clicking 011 Richland County.

We will publish your 5 generation chart in this newsletteras space permits, if it contains Richland County ancestors.Please submit to the editor at the above address.

The photo above isofthe 1812 Blockhouse in Soulh Park,Mansfield, Ohio. The blockhouse was originally in thedowntown area. It was built to protect settlers from the Indiansduring the War of 1812.

There will be 110 chapter meeting in July. On August 25 at6 p.m. we will have a picnic at South Park in Mansfield.Please bring a main dish, salad, or dessert to share. Drinks andtableware will be provided by the chapter. If we have anybusiness to discuss, we'll have a briefmeeting, but most ofthetime will be spent in conversation about genealogy.

I've searched these pages o'er and o'er

To see who has written before

And here in this lovely little spot
