John, The Cincinnati library has the microfilm of certificates for the entire state from 1908-1953. The addition of online searching via the OHS through 1944 is certainly a plus & helpful before heading to the library. I think there are a number of libraries that now have purchased the microfilm from OHS, but am not certain as to which ones. I suggested to the OHGen-L (for coordinators of county websites within OHGenWeb) that perhaps a list of libraries could be made, but only one person responded indicating that the Akron-Summit library also has copies of the microfilm.
