Does anyone have an idea of the breakdown of these 1.1 million records? Having scanned the menu it seems to me that marriage record would be the most numerous of all options. I have family in Cincinnati since the 1840's with a number of marriages to date but I in spite of that I have found about 90% of the returns come back with an invalid Volume. And yes, I have put an A, B, and C in front of the volume, this has helped on a rare occasion. Seems to me that 1.1 million includes the amount of people listed on the marriage index but not the certificate itself. I'm I the only one who's banging their head against the wall or am I missing a trick?

The marriages were one of the records almost completely lost in the fires. They were largely reconstructed from church and newspaper records that still exist. I don' t know why they would list volumes for the certificates if they don't exist.
