I have been the President of the Williams County Genealogical Society for many years and have written numerous articles on genealogy and local history in our county. I am currently the Newsletter Editor. Here are some links to several articles I have written: I became interested in the early divorces of Williams County, Ohio so I researched and printed a spreedsheet with the listing of divorces from 1830-1886 period and wrote a Divorce Primer. http://www.wcgs-ogs.com/DivorceIndex.htm http://www.wcgs-ogs.com/Divorces.htm Next I wrote stories about the various divorces that I had found within the divorce records and other sources. http://www.wcgs-ogs.com/Divorce%20Stories.html I was intrigued with the murder of Arthur Brown, a young man of the 1890's, who was unfortunately killed by four other young men of the Bryan area. I titled that book, "Native Sons Gone Wrong". http://www.wcgs-ogs.com/Arthurbrown.html I found a very interesting book on men of the Williams County area which was entitled, "Commemorative Biographical Record of Northwest Ohio" and made a user friendly index. http://www.wcgs-ogs.com/bio_record.htm Many families have "Black Sheep" about whom they know or want to forget; I have written several articles on Williams County mischief-makers. http://www.wcgs-ogs.com/BkSheepinf.htm William Gamber was a graduate of Gorham Fayette High School, the school where I teach. It was thought that his remains from a WWII aircraft accident would be authenticated so I worked on a history of his family with the hope these remains would be his. They were not. http://www.wcgs-ogs.com/William%20R.%20Gamber.htm Dr. Paul Siple is a famous Montpelier, OH connection to the world but no one that I found had done any research to his family. Follow this link for insight. http://www.wcgs-ogs.com/DrPaul%20A%20Siple.htm In our library holdings at the Williams County Public Library in Bryan, OH, there is a loose-leaf notebook full of obits for West Unity area residents; I made a user-friendly compilation of these obits for researchers. |
