Van Gordon also includes variant spellings of Van Gorden and Van Gorder. The organization of Mrs. Venrick was maintained and files were pulled directly from loose leaf albums of the same names. The photograph collection is particularly good and was left in the scrapbooking format because of mounting adhesive. Mrs. Venrick was also fond of her pet dogs and cats and we kept one view of each even though they have no genealogical value. Access: No restrictions Provenance: Collection was created by Shirley Venrick of Lancaster OH, and was left to the library in that city at the time of her death. They pulled out some local items but the majority of the collection was donated to the Ohio Genealogical Society by the Fairfield Co Chapter OGS, Cindy Wagner, Librarian, by deed of gift, signed 22 Sep 2011.
