The Jefferson County Chapter, OGS web page has the list of First Family and Pioneer Family proven Ancestors at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohjefogs Just click on "DATA" in the navigation cell on the left, and then choose either Pioneer or First Family Ancestors. Clicking either "Societies" in the navigation cell or clicking on "Check "Societies" for membership information" will give you further information for application requirements. All OGS Chapters encourage family researchers to honor their ancestors by joining these societies. If you don't have an early ancestor in Jefferson Co., OH - check and see if another other county fits your early ancestor. And you can always apply for the state organization, "The Ohio Genealogical Society". (Their pins are beautiful!) You can find a link to their site on the JCC OGS site. We also recommend their State Conferences - great event every year in April. Happy Hunting, Julia
