The Ohio Genealogical Society is pleased to announce that we are beginning to make many of our genealogical publications available for purchase through Lulu, an online print-on-demand vendor.

www.lulu.com/spotlight/ogs

This new approach offers exciting benefits for both OGS and our members. With on-demand printing, books are produced only when ordered—eliminating the need for large print runs or storage space, while ensuring that titles remain available indefinitely. For customers, this means easier access to OGS publications, quick and reliable shipping, and professional-quality printing.

We are starting with a small selection of titles, with more to be added in the coming months. Whether you’re researching Ohio’s early families or seeking to expand your local genealogical library, our growing catalog on Lulu will make finding and purchasing OGS publications simpler than ever. To view currently available titles, visit: www.lulu.com/spotlight/ogs

For the newest episode of the OGS Ohio Roots podcast, we speak with Richard Schneider, FamilySearch Coordinator at the John Parker Library at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati. Richard discusses the unique challenges of African American genealogy and the creative strategies genealogists use when traditional records fall silent. It’s a conversation about history, resilience, and why uncovering these stories still matters today. Listen at www.ogs.org/podcasts or wherever you find your favorite podcasts.
