Hello, The birth and death records from 1867 to 1908 are spotty at best. Many people did corrected and omitted birth records in Lake County in 1942 and 1943. I am wondering what the law was or incentive that made them do it then. Perhaps it was social security applications really beginning then. The proofs went before the judge of probate and the resulting certificate was recorded in a Civil Docket. In Lake County they are in about 13 volumes (now stored elsewhere with microfilm at Morley Library), specifically for omitted and corrected births. This is still being done today for current incorrect or missing birth certificates. The index is a card file mixed in with the index cards for the old probate births. Sorry my experience is not in Cuyahoga County, but it is likely similar. Therese Spellacy at Probate would probably know. Cynthia in Lake County
