Hello- Could someone tell me the address for writing the State of Ohio to obtain a Death Certificate. In Michigan, they're available after 1867, and are $15 each, i'm hoping Ohio has a similar situation. Thanks, Chris Andrews

Chris, You can read through this page at the Ohio Historical Society regarding how and where to obtain historical death certificates - http://www.ohiohistory.org/resource/archlib/refemail.html . Deaths from November 1908 to present are indexed statewide. Deaths from 1867 to Oct 1908 are recorded in the county and usually they are indexed by volume. Some other indexes to Ohio deaths are online at subscription sites (like Ancestry.com). I do a good bit of Ohio research and so for convenience have listed some of these indexes here http://www.progenealogists.com/vitalrecordsohio.htm, just to give you an idea of what is out there. By far the least expensive thing to do to get a photocopy of an original death certificate is to write to an archive or government agency, but sometimes they take a long time :) Best wishes, Natalie Cottrill ProGenealogists, Inc.
