Dear Luana, Birth and death records were recorded by the probate court from 1867 to Dec. 1908. They do not like to make copies from the big books, so you may get a computerized certificate. I believe they charge $1.00 per page which would be 2 pages for the book. I have never gotten a certificate, certified or non-certified, so I am not positive of the charge. Include SASE.

I need help! My grandfather William Leslie WENTZ was born in Madison, Ohio on 29. September, 1880. From all accounts on his marriage record in August of 1911, this remained his residence until he moved to Dubuque, Iowa in 1912. Where would I write to find information on his birth, etc.? I tried the state, but their records are after 1909.Also what would be the cost on this? This is my dead end line and I am getting soooo frustrated. Thanks for any help you can offer!

Sorry, folks. When I wrote that the Telegraph had obits indexed from 1922 to 1986, I should have said 1822, not 1922.

Hello, again, I forgot to answer your question about newspapers in Lake County for obituaries. Yes, Morley library at 184 Phelps Street in Painesville, OH 44077 has microfilm of the Painesville Telegraph from 1922 til its closing in 1986 and the News Herald from 1986 to present, all indexed for obituaries. They will send a copy of one or two obits for 50 cents each, I believe, if you send a self addressed stamped envelope (SASE). Usually Perry obits were in the Telegraph, and they have a Perry news column in every issue. Morley is working on putting the obit index on-line and we hope the beginning of the alphabet will be up soon. It is painstaking work to type all those cards again. For those in western Lake County, I am not sure how far back the paper goes, but Willoughby library has microfilm of the News Herald. They have some brief periods indexed for obituaries. Most communities have had small local papers at one time or another.

hello to the list, I wouldn't normaly come right out and ask for a lookup, but....If it is fairly easy, I would be very grateful for somebody in the area to see if there was an obituary for Thomas E. STINCHCOMB, died 5 Jan 1925. Died at Lake Co Hospital. Usual residence Perry, buried Perry. I thought I had the family all figured out, but today I received birth certificates for him and a brother from England and the mothers maiden name was blurry...what I could see cast some doubt. Hoping an obit might name brothers, sisters etc...Thanks to all for at least reading. Greg Smith [email protected] Boston, MA

The 38th Annual Conference of The Ohio Genealogical Society will be April 22-25, 1999 at the Toledo Hilton and Dana Center, Toledo, Ohio. Featured speakers are Dr. George K. Schweitzer, Ph.D. and Dr. John P. Colletta, Ph.D. For more information visit our web site at http://www.ogs.org. Karen S. Smith, 3rd Vice President The Ohio Genealogical Society http://www.ogs.org

Dear Greg, Are there any church records? You might have to do death time records such as will, estate or deed settling property after death. These often list the heirs. I think school records that enumerated this were later. The enumeration of Youth might help, but the copy I know about only lists the people, no relationship, etc. and no address type info. This is a toughie. Probably will need to work backwards on each of the children. Good luck. Cynthia in snowy Lake Co.

Is there any way to find out who was in a household c1820. I have a listing from the 1820 census listing 4 children, I need to find out the names. Are there any "local" census or listings that might name everybody living in a household? For info purposes it is SHERWOOD, John in Madison, 1 male under 10, 1 male 10-16, 1 male 26-46, 2 females under 10, 1 female 26-45. Thanks for any insight...Sure has been quite on this list.

Dear Rilene, Try contacting the Morley Library in Painesville, Ohio (Lake County) They have a wonderful genealogy section and it is run by volunteers who may be able to help you. Good Luck.....Marie

Dear Rillene, You do not say from where you are writing, so I will assume not in Lake County, OH. Your Albert D. LOW is not listed in the 1840 or 1857 landowner maps of Lake County. Nor is he listed (although there is a Sam Low later) in the Lake County Historical Society Bicentennial Edition, a collection of newsletter articles on the area. Do you have any idea in what denomination he was ministering? You might try for church records. He also should have been licensed by the probate court. (or was that his father?) A lot of Lake County records are filmed by the LDS as Kirtland was their home base in the 1830s. You could check the catalog to see if anything might be of interest. I presume you have the marriage license and return. That time period did not give you much, but you can try. Good luck and happy hunting in chilly, snowy Lake County.

Going thru old notes I came across this from an Ann Landers article from 11/12/1996, which I thought was interesting - hope you all do too. If you are a member of the Jewish faith, your religion was founded by Abraham about 4000 years ago. If you are Hindu your religion developed in India around 1500 BC If you are Buddhist, your religion split from Hinduism and was founded by Buddha, prince Siddhartha Guatama of India, abt 500 BC If you are Roman Catholic, Jesus Christ began your religion in the year 33 If you are Islamic, Mohammed started your religion in what is now Saudi Arabia around AD600. If you are Eastern Orthodox, your sect separated from Roman Catholicism around the year 1000. If you are a Lutheran, your religion was founded by martin Luther, an ex-monk in the Catholic church, in 1517. If you belong to the Church of England (Anglican) your religion was founded by King Henry VIII in the year 534 because the pope would not grant him a divorce with the right to remarry. If you are a Presbyterian, your religion was founded when John Knox brought the teachings of John Calvin to Scotland in year 1560. If you are Unitarian, your religious group developed in Europe in the 1500s. If you are a Congregationalist, your religion branched off from Puritanism in the early 1600s in England If you are a Baptist, you owe the tenets of your religion to John Smyth, who launched it in Amsterdam in 1607. If you are a Methodist, your religion was founded by John and Charles Wesley in England in 1744. If you are Episcopalian, your religion was brought over from England to the American colonies and formed a separate religion founded by Samuel Seabury in 1789. If you are a Mormon (Latter-Day Saints), Joseph Smith started your church in Palmyra, NY in 1830. If you worship with the Salvation Army (yes, its a religious group too) your sect began with William Booth in London in 1865. If you are a Christian Scientist, you look to 1879 as the year your religion was founded by Mary Baker Eddy. If you are a Jehovah's Witness your religion was founded by Charles Taze Russell in Pennsylvania in the 1870s If you are Pentecostal, your religion was started in the United States in 1901 Creators Syndicate

Would like to correspond with anyone researching the above names.
