- You'll have better luck if you ask about Columbus as the capital of
- Ohio.
- As for the families you're doing research on, find out the Internet
- address of Ohio State Univ. Library. Some of the holdings of the
- Ohio Historical Society, the Ohio Geneal. Society, and the Ohio
- State Library are on the OSU catalog. The Ohio Historical Society's
- Library is quite strong on local history, biography, and genealogy.
- I visited it last May and stayed longer than I had planned to
- because its holdings are so good.
- If you can't find the Internet address of OSU, I can get it for you.
