http://www.summitohioprobate.com/ Birth and Death Records Birth and Death Records in Summit County, for the years 1867 through December 20, 1908, are also maintained in the Probate Court. The State of Ohio did not maintain Birth or Death Records prior to 1867. The Division of Vital Statistics maintains Birth and Death Records after December 20, 1908. Please refer to Change of Name/Birth Certificate for more information on obtaining birth and death certificates. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cheryl" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 27, 2006 1:48 PM Subject: [OHSUMMIT-L] death certificates > Can someone tell me when death certificates were required. I am looking for 8 August 1902. He was on a CW pension and his widow needed some type of death validation to claim the widow's pension she was entitled to. However there is nothing in his pension file close to a death certificate. > Thanks, > Cheryl > > > ==== OHSUMMIT Mailing List ==== > Check out the Summit County Page at: > http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohsummit >
