Here you'll find more than 93,000 individuals referenced.
The majority of the materials cover the years 1800 to 1850 and represent 76 of
Ohio's 88 counties. What you can learn about each listed individual varies according
to the original record, but this data offers a wide variety of important genealogical
source materials.
This information will help you locate a particular individual at a specific
place and point in time. Learning a date and location from these records may
help you find your ancestor in other genealogical records not necessarily included
in this collection. In some cases, particularly when your ancestor's name appears
in a marriage record, will, or deed, you will also be able to establish family
relationships. If you do find one of your ancestors among these records, it
is likely that you will find a connection to a family line from the thirteen
original colonies -- the Ohio area was one of the first to be settled north
of the Mason-Dixon line and west of the thirteen original colonies. With the
added convenience of a name index spanning both volumes, Gateway to the West
makes an excellent addition to any Ohio researcher's library.

| Sources for Ohio, 1790s-1870s Vital Records #1: |
| This data set contains page images from the two-volume
book Gateway to the West. Ruth Bowers and Anita Short compiled this book
from over 350 articles that originally appeared in the Gateway to the West
periodical, published in Ohio from 1967 to 1978. These books were provided by
the Genealogical Publishing Company of Baltimore, Maryland.
The Gateway to the West periodical offered a wide variety of important
genealogical source materials, many of which would have otherwise been difficult
for the average individual to access. Those materials included marriage records,
indexes to estates, will abstracts, death, cemetery, and divorce records, indenture
and apprenticeship records, baptisms, land grants, ministers' licenses, minutebooks
of courts, deed abstracts, partition records, guardianships, and naturalization
records. The majority of these materials cover the years 1800 to 1850 and are
from 76 of Ohio's 88 counties.
