Professional Ohio Genealogists at Heritage Bridge

Comprehensive Ohio Family History Research

We are Ohio experts, serving clients like you from across the US. Many people have ancestors who passed through Ohio on their way farther west. It may surprise you that Ohio had half a million settlers by 1820—which spurred our ancestors to move west to find available land.

Some of our work:

  • Ohio Family Trees: Do you want to learn the identities and stories of your ancestors? We will research your family and provide historical context. We love working with Ohio's historical records to uncover your family's roots, plus adding in-depth knowledge of Ohio history and settlement so you can learn your connection to history.
