About Us
The purpose of the Wellington Genealogy Group is to aid individuals with an interest in genealogy, to publish genealogy material of local interest, and to expand the resources of the genealogy department of Herrick Memorial Library.
New to the site: a link to the Wellington Enterprise index of marriages, birth and deaths. This link will take you to the index which is on the Herrick Memorial Library's website. The part of the index for the time period from 1919 to 1975 is incomplete at this time. If you are interested in helping index these newspapers contact the Wellington Genealogy Group or the Herrick Memorial Library.
New to the site: Hamlin Post #219 GAR list of members with photos and obituaries.
In the spring of 2010 the Wellington Genealogy Group published "First United Methodist Church Records 1858-1974". The book is offered for a donation of $20.00 plus $4.00 shipping. For more information see our order form.
The Wellington Genealogy Group will be starting on more projects including more indexing of records at local churches and will result in adding to the group's publications.
The resources collected by the Wellington Genealogy Group are held in the reference section of the Herrick Memorial Library.
The Wellington Genealogy Group is an affiliate of the Lorain County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society.
Meetings are held at 7:30 p.m. on the first Wednesday of every month. The meetings are generally held in the south meeting room on the 2nd floor of the Wellington Town Hall. The second floor can be reached via the elevator. Annual dues are $10.00 per household. Guests are welcome.
Wellington is located in the southern part of Lorain County and due to its location, is only a ten minute drive to Ashland, Huron, or Medina counties.
Wellington is best known as the home of Archibald Willard, the painter who painted the "Spirit of '76." Willard's grave can be found at the local Greenwood Cemetery.
