Heritage Day 2022
 CCGS celebrated its 45th Anniversary at this year's Heritage Day Luncheon. Our Lineage Societies are a great way to contribute to our Society and to ensure your research is preserved and your ancestors are honored.
New pioneers were added to our First Families and Settlers and Builders Societies and 2 soldiers affiliated with Clermont County were added to our Civil War Families Society.
Attendees were entertained by Joyce Lovins Browning, whose authentic costume, charming manner of speaking and extensive research made all feel Julia Boggs Grant,
the wife of Ulysses S. Grant, joined us in person.
Congratulations to the Inductees below.

Volunteers Needed!
As we begin 2022, CCGS would like to thank all of the volunteers who have helped our society over the past year, especially on our cemetery and obituary projects.
We are now asking for additional volunteers to assist with an exciting new project CCGS will be doing over the next few months. Some CCGS Trustees met with members of the staff from the Records Management Division, the Clermont County Probate Court Judge, and a representative from FamilySearch. CCGS has decided to help prepare case files stored in our archives at the Records Center so FamilySearch can digitize and publish them online. There are over 40 boxes of case files. We are not sure what is contained in each box, but a sampling has shown guardianships, administration of estates, and other probate records from the 1800’s. Information contained in each case file is different, but parents and children listed in some of the documents are of particular genealogical importance.
Volunteers are needed to go to the Clermont County Records Center at 2425 Clermont Center Drive, Batavia, OH 45103, during regular business hours Monday through Friday, weather permitting. Volunteers will prepare the Probate Case Files at the Records Center for digitization by FamilySearch. Volunteers will wear gloves, open the individual packets, flatten the documents, place them into acid free file folders, and record general information about the content of the folder. Please help us spread the word to potential volunteers or consider assisting us yourself. Contact Debra Geesner, president, Clermont County Genealogical Society, at info@ccgsoh.org or by calling and leaving a voicemail at 513-723-3423. The CCGS Library
