The court system of the state of Ohio, which dates from its territorial period before statehood in 1803, offers rich genealogical records. Probate courts document estates and wills, while common pleas courts handled divorces, land disputes, and naturalizations. The Ohio History Connection and county courthouses maintain these records, providing valuable details on early settlers and immigrant families in the Buckeye State.
