Spring Ohio Genealogical Society Quarterly!

The new issue of the largest state genealogical society's flagship publication boasts a handsome new format and four articles with citations:

"Researching the Family of Samuel B. Kates," by Darlene F. Weaver

"Stephen and Mary Senko of Lorain and Lakewood, Ohio," by Marianne Szabo

"Notes from William Hogan (1836-1936) of Marion Ohio," by N. James Pruitt and Kate De Wein

"Out of the Unity of Friends: The Remarkable Legacy of Abner and Mercy Heston," by Jane Dempsey Gramlich, which was the first-place winner of the 2010 OGS writing contest

Two new features of note -- a Lighton family Bible record both transcribed and fully imaged, and new editor Margaret Arnold kicks off what one hopes will become a regular series with a "Locality Guide" to twelve Delaware County repositories.

The new issue of OCWGJ features a memorial to indefatigable Andersonville researcher John H. "Jack" Lundquist. Other contributions include the following footnoted articles:

Cora Slack, "Albert L. Slack, 121st Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Delaware and Marion Counties OH"

S. A. Mendenhall, "Four McLin Brothers from Hocking County: Thomas, Andrew, James, and Ezra, and Their Service to the Union During the Civil War"

Darrell Helton, "Clement L. Vallandigham and the Copperheads"

Also reviews of William James Smith's Memoirs of the 2nd Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, Company M, and History of the 55th Ohio Volunteer Infantry.

And it wouldn't OCWGJ without "Ask the Experts," which features questions and detailed answers that transparently describe the research. If you're new and want to start getting a feel for how the pros deal with questions about ancestry and documentation, this is a fun way to get into it.

Central and Southwestern Ohio Resources

The Fleshman Files website offers a variety of substantial index resources in Franklin, Delaware, and Hamilton counties: Green Lawn and Obetz cemeteries in Columbus, Oak Grove Cemetery in Delaware, and Wesleyan Cemetery in Cincinnati. Also in Cincinnati, Christ Church Cathedral and Fuldner Mortuary. Use with care, as some listings contain information beyond what's actually on the gravestone.
