Welcome!
My
name is Sandie Cummins and I'm your Hocking County host here at
Genealogy Trails. Genealogy Trails is a volunteer-based project
dedicated to transcribing historical and genealogical data.
Our goal is to post as much data online as possible in order to make
it freely available to all. We gratefully accept your contributions
of data such as
census information, marriage/birth/death records, old photos,
obituaries, family histories, biographies, old newspaper items -
anything that would help someone build their family tree! We
consider every nugget of data an important piece of the genealogy
puzzle. If you have
information to donate, please email
me with your contributions.
Thanks and Happy
Trails!

History
Ross,
Athens and
Fairfield counties were split to create
Hocking c
ounty
and on March 1,
1818, by an Act of the
Ohio General Assembly, Hocking county became official. Hocking County derived
its name from the Indian word "Hoc-Hock-ing" which means "a bottle". The
Hocking River flows through the county, which was
once claimed by the Wyandot Indians. Logan is
the county seat of Hocking County, Ohio. Residents named the town in
honor of Chief Logan of the Mingo Indian tribe.

Wanted
Old photos of your your Ancestors
& your Hocking County community.
Pictures help us
make the
connection to those who have
gone before us. There is something very moving about being able to
look back through time , with the help of an
old photo, to see the ancient face of a grandparent or
other relative you never knew. It's just as exciting to be able to
see how and where your ancestors lived so long
ago.
With your help, those searching for their
ancestors will be able to access your photos, here on this
webiste, free of
charge. The photos you share will remain your copyright
property and your name will be added as
"submitter."
Please consider sharing those old
photos. EMAIL
ME here.
I'd love to hear from
you! |
