Thanks to Nancy Stone of OGS for responding so quickly. It looks like an amendment has been proposed to remove the language restricting access to maiden names. For those concerned about this issue, here's more complete information from Nancy, below. -- Jillaine Smith, Washington DC -----Original Message----- From: Nancy Stone [mailto:cen07407@centurytel.net] Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2000 6:58 PM To: Smith, Jillaine Subject: Re: [NYERIE] Fw: [OBITL] Fwd: Ohio Bill Hello Jilliane, This is a direct reply to you questioning the Ohio House Bill 519-Mother's Maiden Name. I am a member of the Ohio Genealogical Society and received this notice in the January 2000 Newsletter, Volume XXX1, Number 1, Page 1. Editor: Sundra Anderson Peters. E-mail: ogs@ogs.org Quoting the article dated January 2000: "State Representative Bryan C. Williams, Republican, of Akron, introduced House Bill 519 on 14 Dec 1999, which should be of concern to Ohio genealogists. If the reader has access to the Internet, go to The 123rd Ohio General Assembly Online http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/ and in the current legislation box, click on "House," type in bill number "519," and click go. The proposed bill to amend section 3101.05 and enact section 3101.051 of the Ohio Revised code may then be printed out." >From the Ohio Genealogical Society Newsletter Volume XXXI, Number 3, Page 32, dated March 2000 come the following quote: "UPDATE ON HOUSE BILL 519 Senator Dick Schafrath has written to inform me that an amendment to H.B. 519 was to be offered in Committee (House Civil and Commercial Law) on January 26, 2000, retracting the provision that removes the mother's maiden name from the marriage certificate. The web site information has not yet been changed. We will continue to monitor this issue. Sundra Peters, Editor" I hope this helps many to understand this issue. The original poster should have added sources for their information. Sincerely, Nancy Stone Michigan --part1_ce.43613b0.262e4750_boundary--
