I would like to find a death certicate for John Rundt. In the 1900 census ir says he lived in Cuyahoga County Mayfield Twp. I would also like to find church records if any for him. Also the same for his children. Where can I find these. Pat Lane [email protected]
Pat, It's always helpful if you can pin down a date of death. However, there are a few options for searching on-line for these records depending upon the time period. One is the Ohio Death Index from 1913-1937. Then please refer to instructions for ordering a copy of the death record. Since John Rundt lived in Cuyahoga County, another is the Cleveland Necrology File which is found at the Cleveland Public Library Site. Another option is to order microfilm for the county from the Family History Library at Salt Lake City and have them sent to the Family History Center nearest to your residence so that you can search for the earlier records (prior to 1908). There is coverage of Cuyahoga County death records the Family History Library. Ohio Death Index 1913-1937: http://www.ohiohistory.org/dindex/index.cfm Instructions for ordering death certificates from Ohio Historical Society 1908-1944: http://www.ohiohistory.org/resource/archlib/refemail.html#death Cleveland Necrology file: http://dxsrv4.cpl.org/WebZ/Authorize?sessionid=0&next=/html/obit_start.html& dbchoice=1:dbname=necr&bad=html/authofail.html&style=noframe To obtain obituaries from the Cleveland Public Library: http://www.cpl.org/LibraryResources.asp?FormMode=Resources&ID=15&EID=6 A search for John Rundt yielded one file, which is a cemetery record apparently, not obituary: Id#: 0305186 Name: Rundt, John Date: 1900 Source: Cemetery record; Cleveland Necrology File, Reel #070. Notes: 1829 - 1900. Beachwood Cem. This may be in the area of Cuyahoga County known as Beechwood or Beachwood. See this link http://www.beachwoodohio.com/history.html. I believe the Warrensville East cemetery referenced here was Beachwood Cemetery. Perhaps someone on the Cuyahoga County list would be able to confirm this.
