Hello, I know that this is not specific to Indiana genealogy. I apologize for being slightly off-topic. However, I know that many of us with Indiana ancestry have roots in Ohio as well. If any of you could help in this matter, this particular Buckeye who has Hoosier ancestors would be very appreciative. Recently, the Ohio House of Representatives passed House Bill 95 (the state budget bill). Included in sections 3705.23 and 3705.24 is language that would: -- eliminate uncertified copies of vital records -- add a $5 surcharge to what is already charged for a certified copy (raising the total cost of a single document to anywhere between $12 and $17, depending on the agency) -- creates a "certification of birth," which does not require the parents' names to be listed In addition, the certified copy is not required to be a photocopy of the record. Unlike other states where the threat to vital records access is based on fears about identity theft and homeland security (as Indiana recently saw), the Ohio legislature is doing this under the guise of "fiscal responsibility." Although nobody has been able to get someone to speak on the record, my sources at the Ohio Historical Society tell me that they have heard from the State Vital Statistics officials, who say that they cannot afford to process uncertified copies. (Because the way the open records law is written, agencies must charge "at cost," which cannot include the cost of labor or any overhead, such as maintenance and preservation of the record.) Ohio has had a long tradition of open records. The Ohio Revised Code section 149.43 requires that "...all public records shall be promptly prepared and made available for inspection to any person at all reasonable times during regular business hours. Subject to division (B)(4) of this section, upon request, a public office or person responsible for public records shall make copies available at cost, within a reasonable period of time. In order to facilitate broader access to public records, public offices shall maintain public records in a manner that they can be made available for inspection in accordance with this division." House Bill 95 does not exclude vital records from what are defined as public records. There are many other ways to keep uncertified photocopies available to the public, including setting a statutory fee (perhaps at $1 per page) or setting the fee at a percentage of the certified fee. The full text of Ohio HB95 can be found at: http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/BillText125/125_HB_95_PH_N.html It is a very large page. Use your Internet browser to find 3705.22 (3705.24 immediately follows.) The bill has passed the House, and has been forwarded to the Senate, where the Finance and Financial Institutions Committee is hearing testimony. Links to contact information for the members of the Ohio Senate can be found at: http://www.senate.state.oh.us/senators/by_name.html Members of the Finance and Financial Institutions Committee are: Bill Harris, Chair Ron Amstutz Louis Blessing John Carey James Carnes Eric Fingerhut Randy Gardner David Goodman Jay Hottinger Jeff Jacobson Mark Mallory Ray Miller C.J. Prentiss Even if you do not live in Ohio, there is nothing to say that you cannot contact any member of the Ohio Senate or the Ohio House and tell them how the language in sections 3705.23, 3705.24, etc. would affect you. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact me. Ohio genealogists need your support -- and we need it *now*
I have an ancestor who was reported to have drowned in Logansport. He was alive for the 1930 census. Name Larkin Maxwell, born 1876 in Illinois. Would appreciate a lookup in the Indiana death listing. Art

Pat, I am not sure. I do know there was a sister named Jenny Mason who married John South. This Mason Family was related to the Antoni Sadowski, 1669-1758, family who came from Poland and stayed in Pa for a while. They were active in settleing several areas. I need to find where Andrew and James Mason were born, and who the parents were. I know almost everything except that.

My gg-grandfather, Christian Wiese, was a "well-known" undertaker in Indianapolis, IN. beginning in the 1880's, according to his obit. He passed on 16 Aug 1903. His eldest son, Frederick Wiese, my g-grandfather, was born 27 Mar 1870. I believe that Frederick's mother was Louise Becker, but I cannot prove that. I do know that Christian married Elenora (Hartman) Stiegmann on 8 Feb 1874. Frederick married Ernestine Roeder on 26 Jun 1895 in Marion Co., IN. Ernestine passed 7 Aug 1922, and Frederick (Fred), passed on 16 Jun 1923 from a freight elevator accident at G & J Tire Company in Indianapolis. If anyone has any information on this family, please contact me at JnJpriest@aol.com Thank You!! Jo

I am looking for the marriage record of William B Bledsoe to Margaret or Nancy Margaret? The marriage took place in September 1879. I am trying to find the last name of Margaret. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated. Joanne westernproperty@mindspring.com
Lee Lash found in: Here is Lee with Mattie in 1920, which means they were married before 1920. If the marriage index can't be found online, my bet is that the spelling of one or both names is wrong on the index. Both would be easy to mis-transcribe. For instance, Lee's name on this image looks like Lasl. The first letter could also be read as some other letter very easily. I am sending you this image to your personal email address. Have to go to work now, so will do lookups later if someone else hasn't already found it for you.
