Sharon, As per instructions at: http://www.centurytel.net/lorgen/resources.htm For your particular situation, please write to the Lorain County Health Dept. for the CATALFO births that took place in South Amherst after Dec. 20, 1908. They did not take place in an Elyria Hospital. If the county health department does not have them on file, let me know privately what their response to your letter was, and I will try to guide you further. Of the over two hundred subscribers on this LC electronic mailing list, I am unsure of just how many researchers live close enough to get to these various health departments for out of area researchers. Some births were delayed registrations and some did not get registered at all. -- Nancy M. Meyers, Lorain OH
