I have just received my gr grandmothers death cert. The wonder of it all is I received it in 3 days in response to an e-mail request. Total cost is 1.05. One dollar for the search and .05 cents for the one certificate. Luckily I was able to locate the vol and doc. numbers from the Ohio Death Index and provide them to the gal there. I dont know how you go about anything after the index ends. I could have requested up to 7 documents in which case I would have sent them 1.35 (1.00 for the initial search and .05 per certificate) This certificate has been a mystery to me because she died in the Cleveland area, locating certificates there are more difficult due to the individual municipalities handling this documentation differently. Of course I should think of the 3 different health departments here in Lorain County that house the various death certificates......................... BTW - I believe an official death cert from the Health Dept runs somewhere around 16.00 I am told. What a blessing to us geneologists to have this resource available Marilyn
