This is a very comprehensive guide to the genealogical  records and sources in Ohio, written by one of Ohio's foremost genealogists,  Carol Willsey Bell.
For each of Ohio's eighty-eight counties, Mrs. Bell  supplies the following data: the county creation date and the name(s) of the  parent county; the county seat; the name and address of the county courthouse,  library, historical society, genealogical society, archival district, and health  department; a list of relevant land surveys (for land and deed research); the  surrounding counties; and the names of all townships in the county. Next is a  detailed breakdown of the court records on microfilm (LDS and Ohio Historical  Society), listed first by originating office and then by record group. This  includes the records of the State Auditor, Clerks of Court, Court of Common  Pleas, Children's Homes, Coroner, County Homes, County Commissioners, Probate  Court, Recorder, Sheriff, Soldier's Relief Commission, and Treasurer.
Then there follows an itemization of the census records  available for each county, including special schedules, a listing of the  county's records on microfilm in the State Library, plus manuscript collections,  newspapers, tax records, articles from periodicals, and an extensive list of  published sources for that county. And all of this magnificently detailed data  on the counties is preceded by an elaborate listing of statewide and regional  records and publications.
