You've made me realize that once I get more research done on my Herrel ancestors in Cincinnati, I should put in an application for HCGS Century Families. John arrived after the 1880 census and rented rather than owned property. Are city directories acceptable as proof of residence? <br /><br />I already have the OGS 2013 conference in Cincinnati marked on my calendar :)Shelley Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07488453243236670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939752311253681195.post-42800270599418531482012-06-05T23:16:03.724-04:002012-06-05T23:16:03.724-04:00Check out this link to see what two of the medals ...Check out this link to see what two of the medals look like for HCGS -- similar recognitions for OGS: http://jonesfamilymatters.blogspot.com/2009/10/first-families-of-cincinnati-ohio.htmlKathy Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09417754385375586302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939752311253681195.post-10415513512828535272012-06-05T23:12:00.321-04:002012-06-05T23:12:00.321-04:00Margel and Shelley,
Margel -- were your ancestors ...Margel and Shelley,<br />Margel -- were your ancestors in Hamilton County? If so, I want to talk to you about the lineage societies that are also part of the Hamilton County Genealogical Society, too.<br />The applications for both Ohio and Hamilton Co. are almost identical. Next year, the OGS Conference will be held at the Millennium Hotel in Cincinnati (across the street from the Convention Center). You could get your lineage recognitions at that conference and then for HCGS. We have a separate Heritage Luncheon, usually in October. I'm a member of the Century Families, Settlers and Builders and First Families for HCGS. I'm also in the Century Families and Civil War veterans for OGS. Like Shelley, I'd be willing to help.Kathy Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09417754385375586302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939752311253681195.post-61020594974864216952012-06-05T11:17:41.767-04:002012-06-05T11:17:41.767-04:00Yes, each lineage society has a luncheon or dinner...Yes, each lineage society has a luncheon or dinner at the OGS Conference. But no worries, you don't have to come to it. Your application will be accepted and the work you've done on your family preserved regardless of whether or not you can attend the conference.Shelley Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07488453243236670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939752311253681195.post-26304714525721652992012-06-05T05:56:02.032-04:002012-06-05T05:56:02.032-04:00There's a ceremony?!There's a ceremony?!Margelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280552663820694308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939752311253681195.post-26503834343285774122012-06-05T00:03:16.910-04:002012-06-05T00:03:16.910-04:00You're too modest, Margel--I know you do plent...You're too modest, Margel--I know you do plenty! it waits to be seen what I actually accomplish from this list :) But to answer your question--yes, OGS has a summer workshop week every year. It's not too late to register for this year if you want. Let me know if you're considering it.<br /><br />And as for First Families, if you can show your ancestor was in Ohio by 1820, you should definitely do it. I'm a member of it, and I'd be glad to help you with your application. The deadline is Dec. 31. I'm doing Century Families (in Ohio at least 100 years ago) this year, but will do a supplemental application to First Families in the future, because I found some more early settlers in my line. Maybe we can do it the same year and go to the ceremony together. <br /><br />Hope your summer's off to a good start!Shelley Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07488453243236670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939752311253681195.post-21107017947393800592012-06-04T17:32:48.271-04:002012-06-04T17:32:48.271-04:00Thanks for the link to the Century Families of Ohi...Thanks for the link to the Century Families of Ohio. On that same page was first Families of Ohio. I should do that since my ancestors were in Ohio in 1807. I had never heard of it before or the summer seminar. I have put that on my list for next summer - Is it every year? As usual you are a fountain of information. I couldn't accomplish one fourth of what you do.Margelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280552663820694308noreply@blogger.com
