What is OH-FOOTSTEPS?

This list is the place for you to share your original Ohio source
material... wills, deeds, bible records, tax lists, cemetery files,
pension applications, obituaries, old letters, marriage lists, etc... with
other Ohio researchers. To visit the online site go to
http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/oh/ohfiles.htm and explore!

----------------------------------

YOUR SUBMISSIONS ARE WHAT MAKE THE ARCHIVES GROW !

Please look over your digitized information (e.g. GEDCOMS) and
see if you already have items such as old OBITUARIES,
BIOGRAPHIES(esp. from old "local histories"), BIBLE RECORDS,
etc. And, if you have personally transcribed public records such as
census, births and deaths, cemetery records, church records, etc.,
PLEASE SHARE THEM VIA THESE ARCHIVES!

The USGenWeb Archives was originated to freely provide this
information to help everyone with their research.
