Many are also actively involved in other genealogical societies, including the Polish Genealogical Society of Greater Cleveland, New England American Ancestors, and the New York Genealogical Society. Our newsletter editor, Martha Niehaus, has volunteered her skills to OGS since 2019 when the organization chose her design as the winner of the 2021 Conference logo design contest. The logo, which speaks to the theme for the 2021 conference — Bringin’ It Home — was used on all things conference, including bags, social media, publications, and publicity. She continues to design conference materials and logos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f6aa68afa7f5549aae407/2f23bb54-8442-46cc-9e56-8ff87a62b425/thumbnail_Niehaus+Martha+Cuyahoga+Valley+FDG+award+%281%29.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f6aa68afa7f5549aae407/1615676944972-X1H41VA34ZH7IG6Q60SZ/IMG_4681.JPG About - Outstanding Book: Independence Township Cemeteries In Spring 2017, the Fellows and Awards Committee of the Ohio Genealogical Society (OGS) presented the Lida Flint Harshman Award to CVGS for its publication Independence Township Cemeteries, 3rd Ed.

Initially, the Chapter held meetings in the home of Fred and Dorothy Sutton. Bylaws were written and speakers planned. On Sept 13, 1979, the Chapter held its first meeting, with Dr. Judith Cetina of the Cuyahoga County Archives as speaker. In May 1980, the Chapter received its charter from the Ohio Genealogical Society. The Chapter grew and increased to a membership of 29 in 1982 under the dedication of the following officers: Dorothy Sutton - President Gertrude McGown - Vice President Patricia Butler - Treasurer Patricia Waley - Recording Secretary Lorraine Scott - Corresponding Secretary In order to show the wider, more varied area and membership that the society came to represent, the group changed its name in 1988 to the Cuyahoga Valley Genealogical Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society. Today, the membership includes people from nine localities in the Cuyahoga Valley, including Brecksville, Broadview Heights, Independence, North Royalton, and Valley View, as well as the northern Summit County areas of Northfield, Sagamore Hills, and Richfield Township. There are members from other states, who have ancestors associated with the area. https://www.cuyahogagenealogy.org/join daily 0.75 2025-11-11 https://www.cuyahogagenealogy.org/community daily 0.75 2025-10-28 https://www.cuyahogagenealogy.org/contact daily 0.75 2021-04-22 https://www.cuyahogagenealogy.org/links daily 0.75 2021-04-22 https://www.cuyahogagenealogy.org/publications daily 0.75 2025-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f6aa68afa7f5549aae407/1616456373027-CAUYR7YVCJEARVGKQSBO/historically+speaking+vol+2.jpg Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f6aa68afa7f5549aae407/1616456588392-V8DEHOTD600ES0AVZJ9C/independence+township+cemeteries+3rd+ed.jpg Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f6aa68afa7f5549aae407/1616456858469-Y5TZU89H6IV4MBDY72VW/cemetery+workshop+disk.jpg Publications
