The Record of Religious Incorporated Societies was donated to our department in 2015. It is in fragile condition. The dimensions of the book are 15" x 6 1/4". The first six pages of the book face the correct way. The Record of Religious Incorporated Societies, Part 2 remainder of the book was recorded beginning in the rear of the book and upside down.

This journal appears to be a historical document granting ministers permission to solemnize marriage. This journal covers most of the counties in Ohio. It is not limited to only Wayne County, Ohio.
