Early Ohio Settlers, 1700s-1900s
About the Data
Explore new territory in your Ohio family research! This collection of scarce and difficult-to-find Ohio resources references nearly 163,000 individuals and gives you everything from detailed vital records to the biographies that bring your Ohio research to life. This significant cross-section of genealogical resources includes marriage records, cemetery inscriptions, genealogies, biographical sketches, tax lists, newspaper abstracts, and vital records. From early in American history, the land now called Ohio saw an almost continuous influx of new settlers. This was particularly true after the Northwest Territory was established in 1787, which included all of what is now Ohio, and when Ohio became a state in 1803. The seven titles reproduced here were originally published by the Genealogical Publishing Company and include a variety of records comprehensive in their coverage of early Ohio. Much of the importance of this collection stems from the fact that (although several early attempts were made to record vital events) statewide registration of births, marriages, and deaths were not truly maintained until 1908. While the information that you'll learn from this data set varies, you can often learn:
