If you're not a member of the largest state genealogy organization in the US, here's what you're missing in their magazine:
"Mahoning County Historical Society Archival Library," by Pamela L. Speis, which actually focuses on Trumbull and Columbiana counties as well. As always, a visit will be rewarded by finding unique local records -- for instance, the James Mackey collection. He was a surveyor in the Youngstown area 1849-1901.
"Synopsis of the Year 2007," by OGS Library Director Thomas Stephen Neel
"A Case of Mistaken Identity," by Martha Hamilton, one of the first-place winners in OGS's writing contest, who distinguishes two John Hamiltons in Gallia County.
"2008 OGS Conference a Success," by Kenny Burck, looking back on the April event in Cincinnati
Among the shorter notes, be advised that the Akron-Summit Public Library has made its 1940-2007 Akron Beacon-Journal obituary index available on line. Of course, if you actually go there you can view an obituary index going back another 99 years!
