Suzanne, I have been there a few times. Copies of death certificates are only a quarter. They have them indexed 1909 thru 1954, but only on film thru 1953. Never got a straight answer why that is. The archive library is only open Wed and Sat 9-5, and Thurs 1-9. It's very easy to find right off I-71. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Suzanne Maschmeyer" <roots@stny.rr.com> To: <OHHAMILT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, September 16, 2005 10:46 PM Subject: RE: [OH-HAMILT] RE: research in Columbus - questions > Thank you.
