 Introduction

The Kenneth Smith Collection was transferred for microfilming to the Center for Archival Collections, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio with the cooperation of Kenneth R. Smith, Fremont, Ohio, in August 1997.

The Center for Archival Collections is the publisher of this microfilm edition. The 16mm camera negative is the property of the Center for Archival Collections. The register was prepared by Susan Hughes in September 1997. No restrictions apply to the use of this collection.

  Scope and Content

The Kenneth Smith collection consists of approximately ten thousand index cards containing such information as birth, marriage and death dates of members of Native American tribes found in Northwest Ohio who later moved west to Oklahoma and Kansas. Vital statistics date as early as 1724.

The series of cards was researched by Kenneth Smith over a period of many years. The Wyandot tribe was the first to be completed, followed by other Northwest Ohio tribes. Mr. Smith is a descendant of Isaac Williams of the Wyandots. Please see the Source Code on the microfilm for a complete listing of abbreviations and sources used.
