If you have never had a tour of the Pickaway County Historical and Genealogical Library because of conflicting hours when it’s open, your work hours or other reasons, here’s your chance to see what you’ve missed. They will be open at 7 p.m. on Monday and will give a tour to the first 30 people who come by.
You may think they're a small library of family history books in one room but nothing could be further from the truth. They have ten rooms with Probate Court records, tax records, sheriff’s records, newspapers, photographs, maps, Common Pleas case files, Civil war battles, CDs and DVDs, Surveys, surname files, reference files, books for sale and much more.
They hope to see you Monday evening!

Some of the best breakthroughs don’t come from records… they come from people.
📞 Call the local historical society
They often have archives, family files, or volunteers who know the area history by heart.
👥 Join Facebook groups for the area
Small-town genealogy or history groups can connect you with people who’ve been researching the same families for years.
🌐 Google everything (and then Google it differently)
Try alternate spellings, old town names, nearby counties—you’d be surprised what shows up.
🧭 Look outside the box
Your answer might not be in Ancestry… it might be in a conversation, a photo, or someone else’s memory.
✨ Every ancestor has a story—sometimes you just have to ask the right person.
