Finding authorized seller for defunct Church, adverse possession?

[Vic Delgado]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find the owner of a vacant property whose last owner is listed as a church. After visiting the state website, the only church listed in that name ended over 9 years ago. I've tried calling the county offices but they won't give me any contact names for the previous entity. 

I sent a letter to the previous owner, and she actually responded! It wasn't much help since she didn't have any specific names for me.

Any suggestions on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated! Also, I've seen a few mentions of adverse possession deals. Has anyone done this in Ohio?
