Many libraries have the DCs from 1908-1953 (Stark Co. for example). But the OHS has only indexed 1913-1944. My guess is that this is a question of available resources. And I believe 1945-1953 was just recently released to libraries and the OHS. For the other years for which an index is missing (1954-1957), the DCs are still available from the Ohio Dept. of Health. -- Dennis Kowallek Hanover Twp., Butler Co. kowallek@iglou.com ******************

I got the two mixed. Meant to say the index is missing for those years. Wouldn't it be nice of they would put those online like Missouri is doing. Norma
