Welcome to Clermont County Genealogical Society
Recent Changes to Our Website
Our goal has been to make information and links easier to find for your research. The next step will come later when our website becomes “responsive” which means it will be easier to use on mobile phones and tablets. It will also have a more contemporary look.
Many thanks go to our Web Development intern from the University of Cincinnati Clermont, who has implemented changes to Reorganize our site. Her perspectives of finding ways to make the site more welcoming to a newcomer and to better organize it for researchers have been invaluable.
Name Changes
Some names have been changed for clarity. The first change you will notice, we added the word "Research" to Resources. Research Resources better describes what is on this page. On the Research Resources page, we have changed the name from Holdings to Library-Physical Resource. This contains our recently added online catalog for our Family Notebooks & Files Collections. This database is searchable by title and surname. All these physical resources are housed at the Batavia Branch of the Clermont County Public Library.
We encourage you to browse our site and see for yourself how some items have moved, and where new items and links have been added.
Here are some highlights:
These items have now moved to Research Resources:
Here are two new items under the Research Resources tab:
- Records and Indexes.
- Many links within this tab take you specifically to Family Search items for Clermont County
- Archive-Physical Resource.
- This contains a pdf list of documents, out-of-print books, one-of-a-kind items, probate packets and lineage society applications that are stored at the Clermont County Records Center. The original records can be seen by appointment only.
There are two changes you can now see on our website’s home page. The first is a tab on the left panel, “Facebook.” Clicking on that takes you directly to our Facebook page. The second change brings the Google Search bar from the bottom of the home page to the top, making it easier to find.
We are in process of digitizing photos from the “Disney Collection” of historic Clermont County photos. Once finished, the index will be listed under Photographs on the Research Resources page.
Here is a partial list of items that continue to be members only.
Members only:
- Cemetery database records of over 45,000 burial records with inscriptions and gravestone photos
- Newsletters published since 2005
- Presentation handouts since 2022
- Access to over 70 selected newsletter articles published before 2005
- Photographs from past events
- Access to all 14 Township maps from 1870 and 1891
Also, for members only, we have added a list of members who have opted to share their contact information.
