Hi, >>Lori and all, you can get an "uncertified"(not usable for legal purposes) Death Certificate much cheaper, not sure what the Counties or State Health Dept. charge for that (think that it used to be $2 or something), OR you can get one for $3 ($3.18 for Ohio residents!) through the Ohio Historical Society: http://www.ohiohistory.org/textonly/resource/archlib/refemail.html [scan past half way down the page, to "UNCERTIFIED Death Certificate copy"] And I thought I saw somewhere you could get an Uncertified copy for small change(like10c) but I can't remember where! Anyone else know????<< Actually, once I get it back together I can get you a cert from the OHS for a quarter and a SASE. As to others, each county charges a different charge for uncertified copies. The Ohio Department of Vital Statistics I believe now charge 30 cents a copy. I have info at http://www.infinet.com/~dzimmerm/vitals.html but I know some of it (prices) have changed and I have not updated it as of yet. Maggie !^NavFont02F03430016NGHHGKNHFBHID3NIFFHJ44322E
