 "If your research is mainly in Ottawa County and you live in or near the Ottawa County area, I highly recommend that you visit the
Elmore Library in Elmore Ohio. I has an excellent history and genealogy
section for Ottawa County; information that you will not find anywhere
else.
The Librarian for this section of the library is Grace Leubke, author,
researcher and editor of many genealogy and historical publications about
Ottawa County. She recently authored and published "The History of Elmore Ohio". Her books and publications can be found in such prestigious libraries as the New York City Library and the Library of Congress."
