With a passion for history

Our Information Services Department is available to help with your research. Staff members are able to log onto the Ohio Obituary Index (courtesy of the Hayes Presidential Library) to search for Ohio obituaries. Brief death notices, marriage announcements, divorces, etc, may also be indexed in the database.  

Please note, due to limited staff availability, we are unable to complete extensive research projects. If you would like to stop in and browse our Genealogy section, Information Services staff members are happy to give you a tour of the collection and get you started with your research. If you are arriving from out of town, we recommend that you call ahead to verify staff availability as well as the library hours of operation.
