I've hit a wall. . . . My Great grampa, Samuel Aulger, K63Z-8PV, was born 1 Feb 1834 in Mc Cutchenvi
Samuel's 1902 death record and his Civil War records do not give names of her parents.

I don't think you will find any type of "official" birth record by a government entity. Ohio and its existing counties were not recording births in 1834. Church records, marriage records, census records, land/property records, family bibles, wills/probate etc. could all lead to his parents' names however.
Did Samuel Aulger have any siblings? If so, researching them may lead to more info as well.
Maybe the Wyandot County Historical Society could help, too:

@Jackson Bo perhaps this place Mc Cutchenville was officially located in a different different county at the time of his birth? I don’t know the exact dates for the Ohio births and Christening index on familysearch.org but I’ve had lots of luck finding my ancestors Ohio family with that (by searching images). I’m curious, how do you know that was his birthplace? What are your sources? I’d be happy to help you research, if you’re comfortable sharing the vital info.

X24mom. . . . You are so kind. Thank you so much for your feedback. You are right about there being different Ohio County boundaries in 1834. I do not believe I looked at that fact for 20 years until now. Crawford county was south of Seneca county in 1834. There was no Wyandot county until 1845. You can see for yourself. Here's the link from a Google search:

McCutchenville as his place of birth is listed on Samuel's 1902 Death record, attached as a source. You are welcome to look at his sources and to do some research in Ohio birth's and christening index records. I am not familiar with that resource. Samuel's vital informatin can be found in his Family Search ID --- K63Z-8PV.

Thank you for the quick reply. those are some great ideas. Yes, it appears he had several siblings who indicate being born in New York. I'll dive into those suggested areas and get more documents on the Aulger family. Thank you for your encouragement

Jackson Bo, regarding the county boundary histories, here's a great site if you haven't seen it yet:
Go down to the Interactive Map of Ohio County Formation History Section and select the year you are interested in. It shows all of the boundary changes that year in both graphic and text. You can step forward or backward a "change year" at a time, or even set it to automatically play through all the changes.
