Western Reserve Genealogy and Historical Search
The Western Reserve Heritage Association is ready to assist in your genealogical or historical search. We are located in the center of Geauga County,
and within walking distance of the Geauga County
Historical Society and Century Village. Many
historical documents and reference materials
may be viewed here. The County’s
oldest tax and census records, as well as historical
reference books are kept in the Chardon branch
of the Geauga West Library, only a 10 mile drive. The
Library has evening and weekend hours. Chardon
is also the location of the County Court House
and County offices, with land and deed records,
probate records, etc.
From our knowledge of genealogy and historical look-up, we can also travel to other local counties to seek information for you.
This is a fee-based service, as a source of income for this Not-For-Profit organization.
Click HERE for Genealogical Research in Ohio (2nd Edition), by Kip Sperry. (2003) This is an Internet "preview" version, with a lot of reference and resource information, but not the entire book (which is for sale, online). Even so, this preview version has over 300 pages available to read on-line. This book will give Genealogists some good ideas and leads, but does not list actual genealogy of families. Copyrighted.
