Cheryl, Anytime I can help someone with their genealogy research I try. And using the Akron Summit death certificate service is a great way to document your Ohio ancestors. You get the death certificate number from the Ohio Historical society. Then you go to the Akron Summit County library and email their special Collections. You give them the five certificate numbers & details of the certificates that you want. Include your name, address and email (I also give them my phone number). They copy the certificates and mail you a payment invoice with your five certificates. It takes about 4 weeks total. There is a $1 per order surcharge and the certificates are .25 each. So each order of five costs $1.25. I always just send $2.00 figure they can use it for postage or whatever. They limit you to five certs per order and a max of two orders per month. I appreciate the work that the Historical society does, but right now the $2.00 works better for me than $6 per shot. The Akron Public Library special collections dept is at: http://ascpl.lib.oh.us/main-sc.html Good luck!

Thanks, Karen! I have a lot of certificates to acquire, so this really helps!
