Friday, April 25
Cemeteries in Geneology Research  (Area Events)
10:00 am
Morely Library, 184 Phelps St., Painesville, OH
Hunting for an ancestor's gravestone can be an exciting adventure or a frustrating series of dead ends.  When wwe find our ancestor's gravestone, we are often in awe, as it can give important birth, death, and marriage dates.  But just because that information is written in stone doesn't mean it is always correct! Join Krista Horrocks, cemetery preservationist for the Ohio History Connection, on how cemteries and gravestones can help, or hinder, your genealogical research.
 
This is a Hybrid meeting.  To receive an invitation to the meeting send an email at least 2 days in advance to lcgsohio@lcgsohio.org or use contact form at https://www.org/contact

Wednesday, April 30 through Saturday, May 3
"Light Up Your Genealogy"  (OGS 2025 Annual Conference)
Kalahari Resort and Convention Center in Sandusky, OH
This year’s theme is “Light Up Your Genealogy” in tribute to Thomas Alva Edison, who was born a few minutes down OH-250 in Milan in 1847. Besides inventing the incandescent light bulb, Edison also brought us the phonograph and the motion picture camera, as well as improvements to the telegraph and telephone!
 
We are excited to have as our Keynote speaker, “The Legal Genealogist” Judy G. Russell, JD, CG, CGL to open the conference. She is both delightful and a fantastic presenter, who I am sure will entertain us as she imparts her unique outlook on all things genealogy. Her Keynote address is titled, "After the Courthouse Burns: Rekindling Family History through DNA."  Catastrophic record loss due to fires and disasters at courthouses is a fact of life for genealogists. When a disaster takes out birth, marriage, death, court, land and probate records all in one fell swoop, it may still be possible to light our family’s research fires — to rekindle our interest in our ancestral roots — using DNA evidence.
 
There will also be a number of tracks, among them a current “hot” topic — DNA, along with Military, searching records, Ethnic groups, and Technology — including the current “hottest” topic — Artificial Intelligence and Genealogy! There will be paid workshops available highlighting Family Tree, Artificial Intelligence and Genealogy, Banyan DNA, Records of Colonial Pennsylvania, and Research in Austria-Hungary.
 
Once again, we will offer four Society Sessions that are free covering topics to help you run your Chapters more efficiently. Inductees into the OGS Lineage Societies will be recognized and awarded their medals at a Banquet on Friday night. There will be a variety of vendors displaying their wares throughout the conference. As always, the OGS Annual Meeting, as well as the Chapter Awards and Book Awards, will be held at the Saturday luncheon.
