Genealogical Research in Ohio – Second Edition; by Kip Sperry; Printed 2003; reprinted 2006; Soft Cover; 388 pp; ISBN: 9780806317137; Item #: GPC5512

Ohio has an abundance of sources available for genealogical research--statewide indexes and personal name finding aids, biographies, local histories, vital and church records, probate and court records, census and military records, land records, newspapers, naturalization records, gravestones, genealogical collections, and many others. In addition, numerous Ohio records have been published by genealogical and historical organizations, and many records and indexes are available on microfilm, microfiche, compact disc, and increasingly, the Internet.

These sources and many others are described in great detail in the new Second Edition of Genealogical Research in Ohio, by noted genealogical scholar Kip Sperry. This expanded and revised version of Sperry's classic 1997 volume examines the holdings of the major Ohio archives and libraries and focuses on the many other resources available to the researcher, covering everything from church records to divorce records, from periodicals to probates, and from tax records to town records. So thorough is the coverage that it even includes a 123-page bibliography of Ohio books and periodicals, the most comprehensive survey of Ohio printed genealogical sources ever published.

In addition, the work contains addresses of repositories that house Ohio historical and genealogical records and oral histories, both in and out of the state, addresses of chapters of the Ohio Genealogical Society, a list of Family History Centers in Ohio, and, at the rear of the book, a collection of Ohio maps of historical and genealogical importance. New to this Second Edition are Ohio sources on compact disc and the Internet, as well as many additional genealogical and historical sources and a greatly expanded bibliography.

The Second Edition of Genealogical Research in Ohio completely supersedes the First Edition and is a testament to genealogical scholarship.
