Nancy, When did your GGrandfather die, and where did he die. North College Hill is a city/municipality in it's own right. It actually borders the city limits of Cincinnati. If he died at home, after 1909, odds are his certificate would be at the County health department, 250 William Howard Taft Rd. The downside, if it is there it will cost you $16 for a certified copy. Another option would be to contact the main branch of the library, or even the Ohio Historical Society in Columbus. At the OHS, certificates are indexed through 1954 and there is a $6 research fee. Before 1909 it should be at the Blegen Library at UC.

Bob, My GGrandfather died in 1900. That's why I wondered about how to contact the Blegen Library.

To add to this, after 1913 the Ohio Historical Society has a search engine for 1913-1937 online: http://www.ohiohistory.org/dindex/ The $6.00 isn't the "research" fee, but the copy fee. That was raised 2 years or so ago from $1.00 when the Ohio budget past cutting back their funding AND eliminating genealogical copies and raising the fees on certified copies. To "research" I believe the fee is higher. The last word I had some time ago from the library in downtown Cincinnati when they first obtained the death certificate microfilm from the Historical Society is that they had no plans to respond for requests of copies. With cut backs at the library recently, I doubt that policy has changed. But, there are a lot of "kind souls" on this list and perhaps with given the exact information from the search at the Historical Society someone when at the library may do a look-up for you. As yet, I've not heard via this list or the Hamilton Co. OHGenWeb page (http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohhamilt/mnpg.html) that anyone is willing to commit to do this on a regular basis.
