Ohio — along with Kentucky and Indiana — was an integral part of the Northwest Territory established in 1787 by the Continental Congress. Its key position between the Northeast and the West really helped it entice settlers from many areas as well as ethnic groups. Ohio — a public land state — was recognized into statehood in 1803. Statewide birth & death documents registration began in 1908; marriage records started in 1949 (kindly verify individual counties for earlier data). Whether or not your ancestors resided in or gone through the “Buckeye State,” there are a multitude of resources to aid you maintain a record of their comings and goings.
