In the past, members had to search through each database separately in order to get results. In this version, members can search for a surname using just one form that will automatically search for matches among all the databases that the society has available online, and display the results on a single page. Online searching has been enabled for the following databases: Surname Search, 1875 Index, and Perrin index. As new databases are created and published online, they will be included in the global search.
Members may also search for other characteristics in their search to narrow down their results. Keep in mind that some of the attributes are only used in certain databases, which are noted on the search form. Currently used characteristics include:
Some notes about the new search function:
If anyone has any questions about how the search works or has a suggestion, please send an e-mail to webmaster@starkcountyogs.org.
Save for September, all the monthly speakers, meetings, and events have been added to the calendar. Unless otherwise noted, all meetings will be held in the 2nd floor conference room of Stark County District Library's Main Library from 10am to 12pm.
In an effort to take advantage of the ever-increasing role technology plays in our lives, the Stark County Ohio Genealogical Society is making strides in providing digital genealogy resources to our members. Part of the effort currently involves providing ways for members to search our databases to find their ancestors or assist in deep research. Eventually, we would like to be able to offer electronic books and digital communication platforms exclusively to our members. The digitization process will be slow but steady, and we are hopeful it will be well worth the wait. Subscribers will be notified of any major additions via e-mail, and resources will be added on an incremental basis, so check back often to see what is new! In the meantime, check out our current selection of databases and research tools!
