AF-569: Learning Where it All Started: Birth Records Jan 13, 2022

Show notes

Vital records… records of births, deaths, and marriages are a basic part of genealogy research. They tell you the important details of your ancestors' lives, such as names, dates, and places associated with them. The information found in vital records can often be stepping-off points for further avenues of research, as well. As a genealogist, you should ideally be collecting as many vital records as possible on your ancestors and reading every line of them. You never know when a hidden but important piece of information will be in an unexpected place on a vital record.

Ohio is chock full of interesting historical places to explore. No matter where you go, you'll find something of significance.
