Anna: They are now both online and at the library. Michelle Day is pointing out that the Cleveland Public Library now has the actual films at the library, which you can view in person or order via email. However, Clem Ras pointed out the following yesterday: Within the past month, FamilySearch Labs has made the Ohio Death Certificates 1909-1953 available online from: http://www.familysearchlabs.org/ Click on Record Search. You will have to sign up for a logon. I received mine in less than a day. Clem Ras The Family Search Labs is the group responsible for creating and testing the new LDS website that we have heard so much about - where they will post the digital images of all of their microfilmed records eventually. The above website is a pilot program and they are asking for suggestions and comments to make the site better as you search and view the information that is there. They have a few items there already - Ohio Deaths 1909-1953 (indexed and searchable), the World War II Draft Cards (not indexed but browsable by State and then alphabetically), and the 1900 census for a few states, as well as a few other databases for other states. Like Clem, I've been working with the Ohio Deaths at the above site all weekend, and all I can say is that it's fabulous! However, for those people that you can't find online, it will still be equally as nice to be able to go down to the Cleveland Public Library and do a manual search of the indexes. This was a red-letter weekend for people in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County looking for death records!
