Welcome to the Wayne County (OH) Wiki!

This website is a collaborative effort between staff at the Wayne County Public Library and volunteer editors. It is intended to archive local knowledge and history of Wayne County, Ohio.

Using the wiki

There are currently three interrelated and interconnected projects in the Wayne County (OH) Wiki: Genealogy, Local History, and Business. Each project has a "Portal" page that serves as an entryway or introduction to its central topic.

If you're looking for something specific, use the search bar above. To find information on a specific family name, search for the name followed by "(surname)" without quotation marks. To find information about the Smith family, for example, you would search for "Smith (surname)" without quotation marks. For historical information on businesses in Wayne County browse Portal:Business or search for the name of a specific business.

Research assistance

The WCPL Genealogy Department offers research assistance services. For more information, see Portal:Genealogy.

Getting involved

Volunteer editors work closely with WCPL staff to expand the wiki by digitizing documents, adding information to existing pages, and other tasks crucial to this project's success. For volunteer opportunities, contact ??????????????.
