Thanks for you time and good luck with your own search! > Aubrey > P.S. I also want to make sure everyone is aware of the wonderful site www.labs.familysearch.org , that's where I found Adam's death certificate. The site seems to have much the same collection of Ohio death records as the OHS, but these are absolutely free, all you have to do is register with your e-mail. There are several other interesting databases, all free. Check it out! > > _____________________________________________________________ > Improve your career health.
