There are many societies which may help family historians. Genealogical, historical, lineage, veterans, and ethnic societies are especially helpful because of the records and resources they collect, transcribe, and publish. Often their records contain birth, marriage, death, and biographical information. See "[[United States Societies|Societies]]". [[Ohio Archives and Libraries|Archives and Libraries]] are carefully contributed to and maintained by various Societies. | There are many societies which may help family historians.
