WOOD County, Ohio
Place Names

Much of this material is extracted from Fletcher's Gazetteer of Wood County, Ohio [reference below]. Mr Fletcher's work was not indexed, nor contructed/listed alphabetically. In abstracting his work, this list is alphabetized.

The information on these pages is not intended to be more than that which is displayed. It contains surnames, first names, events [such as birth, cemetery, census, etc], the year or time period, and the reference [which is located on the bibliography page] with page number. It is intended to give researchers a place to find additional information.

To ask for look-ups, it is suggested that a researcher join a RootsWeb surname or geographic location e-mail list. Such lists are located at rootsweb.com. An alternative would be to mail a request to the Wood County Chapter, Ohio Genalogical Society, One Courthouse Square, Bowling Green, OH 43402. In your request, please give, at a minimum, such information as name; event; time period/year; location; and complete reference.
