Welcome to The Lorain County Chapter of OGS


In 1824 Lorain County was created from parts of  Huron,  Cuyahoga  and Medina Counties.   For information around or before that date, you will want to visit those counties.   

Elyria is our county seat and Wellington Village is the home of our county fair.  The photo above is Lorain Harbor Lighthouse located at the mouth of the Black River.  

Lorain County, Ohio is a member of  OHGenWeb, USGenWeb, WorldGenWeb and The Ohio Genealogical Society.   Visit  The USGenWeb Archives for Lorain County and the Ohio State Resources for Researchers 

Our Chapter was chartered by OGS in 1983 and membership includes two affiliates;  Wellington Genealogical Group and Black River Genealogical Group. In 2008 our Chapter celebrated their 25th Anniversary as a chartered Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society.
