Just some additional info on the Cinti Board of Health on Elm St........The vital records are located on the fourth floor and you do need an appointment because it is a relatively small room. They do it 2-hour time slots on Tues, Wed and Thurs......9-11 and 2-4. If you want a copy of a particular certificate there is a $16 charge for a certified copy. They don't allow photocopies, per state of Ohio. You are able to view the certificate on the microfilm reader and make your own notes of interest. Parking is safest on Central Parkway as the lot behind the center is very small and always packed. You can enter the building from the back, facing Central Parkway. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray Boniker" <IRAY@msn.com> To: <OHHAMILT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, June 11, 2005 3:20 PM Subject: Re: [OH-HAMILT] Resources in Cincinnati-where > > Tim asked: 1.)
