The death certificates that I've been receiving from Ohio are all stamped with "For Statistical Use Only" which has been a minor irritant, because they sometimes stamp over vital information. I've been able to get past that, though :-) They are both copies of the same document i.e. the original birth, marriage, or death document that the state has on file. Doris

Several saw my mention of something on a CD, and emailed me for a lookup. I certainly don't mind, but apparently they are not aware of a site that will give the info for ANYONE on ANY FTM CD...it's a wonderful service, done by volunteers, and all they ask is that you read all the instructions, and carry them out......little enough to ask . http://seidata.com/~genealogy/cdlist.html

The library in St. Clairsville has many of the Belmont Co newspapers on film, so you needn't go to Columbus to get them, if this is closer. However, it may be possible, if you check the on line site for The Ohio Historical Center at Columbus , to find what films you wish to see, and have them sent to your local library through interlibrary loan. -----Original Message----- From: Jackie Pauley <jpauley@intelos.net> To: OHBELMON-L@rootsweb.com <OHBELMON-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, September 20, 2000 10:00 AM Subject: [OHBELMON-L] newspapers? >Does anyone know what newspapers would have been in Belmont and Franklin County in the 1850-1880 period?

No genealogy question is dumb!!!!! A certified copy simply means the clerk of courts certifies this is a true copy of a record. Certified copies also cost more. If you are researching in order to join--say D.A.R.-- certified copies are often required. Ohio Newspapers for Belmont & Franklin Counties. Go to the Ohio Historical Web Page, you can "surf" was if available. To my knowledge, yes, you would need to go to Columbus, Ohio to read these papers on site. Belmont Co., OH Gen. Soc. as an example as extracted and printed newspaper data covering certain years. Harriet

There has been information on this list for obtaining OH birth and death certificates. Have a dumb question to ask. What is the difference between a regular copy a certificate and a "certified" copy. Why do I want a certified copy? Do they both contain the same information? thanx, Lou

Does anyone know what newspapers would have been in Belmont and Franklin County in the 1850-1880 period? Would they have listed the obituaries? Do you know of anywhere that I could go to a web site to look at them or would I need to go to OH to look up for myself? I live in WV. One last question - is it really true that someone is going to put all the census' on the internet? Do you know when? Thanks - Jackie

Greetings, I recently came across a newspaper with an article which has given me some information about the family for which I am searching. I'm hoping someone out there can add something to what I have found. The father was Vernon Burkhart Sr and the family lived on Rt 8 South, Barnesville. They had 3 sons Vernon Jr who graduated from Barnesville HS in 1947 Gene who graduated from Barnesville HS in 1949 and Delmas who graduated in 1952. All 3 were studying for the priesthood. Vernon Sr was in the floral and nursery business and an ad in the same newspaper gave their phone as 140. That was in 1952. Any information would be appreciated.

Anyone who sent obituaries for the Belmont Co. page or knows of anyone who sent obits that didn't get posted, would you ask them kindly to re-submit them? My house (and two computers, tv etc.) were hit by lightening and the ones I didn't get put on the page are lost. I apologize to all. Carol

The birth & death records in the county Probate court only cover 1867-1908. County Health Departments and State Vital Statistics (Health Dept) have control of the records after Dec. 1908 Ohio transferred the death records Dec. 1908 to the end of 1944 to the Ohio Historical Society which is a State & Regional Depository...

The prices have gone up since you obtained your information. State Birth & death records (certified) are now $9.00 Franklin & some of the other county health Departments are charging $10 or more.... The problem is that if you send the wrong amount, they will send the request back...not send the record w/ a bill for balance.

Does Belmont County have a book available with transcript of the marriage records from the courthouse, or does one write to the courthouse as indicated in Sandra Ferguson's message? These are the Belmont Co., OH, marriages I am trying to verify: Jonathan Pittman m. Mary Vanske 15 Oct 1818 Isaac R. Pittman m. Eliza Jane Moore, 28 Mar 1844 Mary Sarah Truax m. (2) Solomon Moore, 26 Jan 1815 Benjamin Truax, Jr., m. Eleanor Cramer, 29 April 1824 and Jacob Pittman m. Charity (maybe 1820-30--maybe Belmont Co?) Help appreciated. Jeannine

The counties that I have dealt with in Ohio keep their records at the courthouse, and it is to the courthouses that you apply for copies....and, I've had better luck seeking this info at the county level, rather than in Columbus. I suggest you visit the rootsweb site for the county you are interested....these usually have that sort of information (dates covered and addresses) listed on the county sites. For Belmont county, the address is Belmont County Courthouse Probate court St. Clairsville, Ohio (can't find the zip, but the post office can give this to you) births 1867-1982 deaths 1867-1908 and 1940-1982 marriages 1803 to the present Certified copies are $3.00 -----Original Message----- From: Bill Beckett <wbeckett2@home.com> To: OHBELMON-L@rootsweb.com <OHBELMON-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, September 18, 2000 8:59 AM Subject: Re: [OHBELMON-L] Ohio Death Cert. >>From Marlton, NJ > >The State of Ohio has a much better access to birth and death records >than most any other state. > >Birth and death record copies can be purchased at a county Health >Department.

From Marlton, NJ The State of Ohio has a much better access to birth and death records than most any other state. Birth and death record copies can be purchased at a county Health Department. The price varies (25¢ to $3.00) for uncertified copies, but $7.00 seems to be the standard price for certified copies. The State of Ohio will provide copies of Ohio Birth (from 1909 and later) and Death (1945 and later) certificates. To write for a copy of an Ohio birth or death certificate, send a request letter to: State of Ohio Department of Health Bureau of Vital Statistics 246 N. High Street P. O. Box 15098 Columbus, Ohio 43215-0098 U.S.A. The latest fee schedule for uncertified copies is $0.03 each plus a fee for mailing within the United States (33¢ for 1-5 copies; 77¢ for 6-13 copies; $0.99 for 14-20 copies). They want a check or money order made out to "Treasury, State of Ohio". It usually takes between 6 and 18+ weeks before you hear from them (either a copy of the certificate or a note that they could not find it for some reason.) Certified copies are seven dollars each. Ohio death certificates from 1909 to 1945 can be ordered from the Ohio Historical Society in Columbus. The basic fee is $1.00 per certificate plus postage. Detailed ordering information and pricing can be found at their web site <http://www.ohiohistory.org/> Regards, Bill I trace my family history so I will know whom to blame. >X-Message: #1 >Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 10:30:41 -0700 >From: "The Howells" <lhowell@wk.net> >To: >Subject: [OHBELMON-L] Ohio Death Cert. > >Hello everyone, > >I have a question I'm hoping someone in Ohio can answer for me. >Here in KY you can go down to the Health Department in the county that >someone died in and view their death cert., you can't make a copy but you >can look it over real good. > >My question is, is Ohio the same way?
