Navigating the Records From The War of 1812 (Chapter Meetings)
2:00 pm to 4:00 pm Zoom
From bounty land to pensions, there are no shortage of genealogical records for soldiers from The War of 1812. Learn why these records were created, how to make sense of them, and what those records can contain for your ancestors.
Brian Rhinehart is a professional genealogist and speaker. He is a graduate of Boston University’s Certificate of Genealogy Research and the Genealogical Institute on Federal Records (GenFed) in Washington DC. A direct descendant of six Civil War soldiers, Brian specializes in research and record retrieval for Civil War and War of 1812 soldiers at the National Archives in Washington DC and has retrieved military files for hundreds of clients there. Brian will be speaking at the 2022 OGS Conference. For other presentations by Brian this year, see the presentations page on his website, civilwarrecords.com
The meeting will be on Zoom. Due to a library event the same day, we are unable to meet at the Akron Main Library. Links will be emailed to members. Visitors may contact the chapter for a link. info@summitogs.org The board meeting starts an hour earlier at 1:00 p.m. and is always open to members or visitors.

Hidden Treasures in Ohio's Court of Common Pleas (Banquet)
Annual Banquet
SCCOGS Annual Banquet.
Common Pleas court is often a mystery to genealogists, partly because the office holder is called by another name - Clerk of Courts - and partly because we get a little shocked when we find out all the "good stuff" about our ancestors. We'll look at lawsuits, criminal records, divorces, bastardy cases, land partitions, quadrennial enumerations, earmarks, minister's licenses, tavern licenses, coroner's inquests, naturalizations, supreme court records, and we will closely examine a case packet. What a wide range of subjects, but that is common pleas!
Tom Neel is the retired Director of the Ohio Genealogical Society. He was graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University with majors in history and botany-bacteriology and secured his Masters in Library and Information Science from Kent State University. He is a resident of New London OH and spends much of his free time at the New London Area Historical Society museum which he co-founded in 1985. In retirement, he is busy compiling some of his own family histories. |
