It was somewhat difficult to view the death certificate information. I posted a note on the 'sister' 'Board' of this mail list about the steps taken to view the d.c.: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.ohio.counties.montgomery/4301/mb.ashx There was a follow-up response about easier access to death certificates (if you are near Columbus, Ohio ;-). See reply to above link. Often the information you seek is found in obituaries, which are much, much easier to obtain. Sometimes one can find a volunteer to search a library record and respond. It seems odd to me, though, often the responses are sent privately, rather than publicly. Thus, if someone else does research, another volunteer is sought and duplicate effort is made. :-| HTH, Chuck > Nola Thacker > Austin, TX > <snip> >
