Catholic Genealogy
More than a few visitors to this blog are working on genealogy / family trees. Just learned of a helpful blog, The Catholic Gene. Take a look HERE.
Also, if you are doing any research on families in NW Ohio, the Library at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont is a great resource. They host classes on genealogy as well.
