Have you ever wondered how or why records in a county office
were created? The county auditor and recorder offices create a
variety of records that help us understand where and how our
ancestors were living. Finding an ancestor documented in records
like a tax list or a deed book may be the clue that sets you on
the track to finding additional information. Representatives
from the Franklin County Auditor and the Franklin County
Recorder will explain the resources available, how to access the
information, and what it is like to do research at a county
office in Ohio. This is an excellent opportunity for family
researchers to learn how these offices can make their research
more complete and use the legal records concerning property to
identify family surnames and places where they lived before
vital statistics records were being maintained in the probate
court office. Additionally, this is a rare opportunity for
family historians to talk with the employees of the Auditor and
Recorder Offices in a workshop setti
