Exploring Almost Forgotten Gravesites in the Great State of Ohio

Dedicated to cemetery preservation in the great state of Ohio


"A cemetery may be considered as abandoned when all or practically all of the bodies have been Removed therefrom and no bodies have been buried therein for a great many years, and the cemetery has been so long neglected as entirely to lose its identity as such, and is no longer known, recognized and respected by the public as a cemetery. 1953 OAG 2978."

Spotlighting the Medina County District Library's Blog for cemetery research tips

Sometimes it is the simplest of things that we forget or aren't aware of that can make all the difference between a successful cemetery research experience and one that falls short.  That can be true whether researching at home, at the library, or while at a cemetery where your ancestors are buried - or hope they are buried!  

The Medina County (Ohio) District Library (MCDL) has a fantastic blog that offers so much for historical research information that it certainly is worth checking out even if your research isn't focused on Medina County, Ohio.  
And, don't forget to type in the word "cemetery" in the top left corner box next to the small magnifying glass 🔍 when you are specifically focusing on cemetery research.


The Medina County Genealogical Society also features the blog posts of the Medina County District Library on their public Facebook Group.  

So enjoy a new or renewed experience conducting your cemetery research by taking some time to visit the Medina County District Library Blog!
