Charlotte, Were you aware that Ohio is divided into different regions (I believe there are eight) that have the death records from 1908 and before (that were recorded) for the counties in the area they serve? Bowling Green University houses the records for Northwestern Ohio including Allen county. Ohio University has the records for Southeastern Ohio, and I do not remember which Universities have the other regions' records. I mention this because you indicated you are interested in "older" death records. I was unable to find a record of one gggrandfather, and Bowling Green's second search did find the record, copy and mailed it to me for a donation. This is the link you need to request a search. http://www.bgsu.edu/colleges/library/cac/ I see they now charge $20.00 for an hour of search. Steve Charter was the man who found the record for me, when he was double checking after one of their volunteers had not found what I needed.

You look them up yourself on microfilm and make you own copies. I believe I put quarters in the machine to make the copies, but cannot remember how many quarters it took. Know it was not over a dollar then--think it was only 25 ot 50 cents. Sue Sue, Ok, thank you.
