About CCGS

CCGS Mission
To collect, protect, and preserve records of Clermont County’s past residents and historical families that their stories may be honored and shared with this, and all future generations.
 
Two primary objectives help us take strides toward our mission:
  1. The Inbound Objective: Ensuring the collection, protection, and preservation of Clermont County historical records.
  • We collect and preserve these historical records.
  • We advocate for such collection and preservation.
  1. The Outbound Objective: Providing families and other interested parties with links to their Clermont County-based ancestral past.
  • We share the records we have collected with interested parties
We also provide genealogical and historical education, resources, and assistance to them.
 
 
The Clermont County Genealogical Society, Inc. was organized on September 30, 1977. It is a non-profit, 501 (c) (3) Corporation operating as an educational organization, supervised by an elected Board of Trustees. It operates using Bylaws Revised August 5, 2023 and Standing Rules Revised 3 Feb 2024. Its purposes are to create interest in the genealogy and local history of the area and to collect, preserve and share such information. The Society is Chapter 71 of The Ohio Genealogical Society and a member of the National Genealogical Society. Meetings are held the first Saturday of the month in the Doris Wood Memorial Batavia Library, 180 S. 3rd Street, Batavia, at 1:00 pm.  Programs are of a genealogical or historical nature and the public is invited to attend all meetings.
 
Anyone with an interest in genealogy or local history is welcome to join using our Online Join or membership form.  New members joining after September will be credited with the following year of membership.  Contributions are welcome from anyone.  Included in your dues is the quarterly Newsletter published by the Society. It contains such things as cemetery records, interesting genealogical finds, queries, new books available at the Library, etc. Members are urged to contribute material.
 
Members are requested to submit ancestor charts (five generations, if possible), and to contribute as much genealogical material (family group sheets, Bible records, obituaries, etc.) as possible. These are filed to share with those searching the same lines. Contributions of prepared family books or pamphlets are appreciated and are filed in like manner.  The Society also maintains a sumame file of "who is hunting whom" and promotes genealogical projects such as indexing and printing early court records, maintaining an obituary file etc.
