Successful OGS Conference Draws to a Closef

Nearly 700 attendees at the OGS Conference in Cincinnati Ohio are heading home after a successful event. John Cook of North Fairfield was announced the winner of the Ohio-made car raffle. Missy Derrenberger and Kenny Burck graciously accepted Fellows awards, the Society's highest honor. Bob McKown received the President's Award from OGS President Sunda Peters. A great time was had by all. The people of Cincinnati are to be commended for a great conference site and volunteer crew.

OHIO NATURALIZATIONS

Ohio Southern District Naturalization Records for 1852 to 1991 were added to the FamilySearch.org databases on April 16th. They also expanded the Ohio Probate files a bit. This makes a great addition to naturalizations already posted from other areas of Ohio.
