Judy If the place of birth information came from the OH records, you may have to use some "creative reading" to decipher it. Maybe it was originally difficult to read handwriting or maybe typing problems, but these are some of the typed entries that I've come across in the death index while searching for my ancestors. After studying them awhile (and having a good chuckle), I figured out most of them. No wonder it took so long to find them. <G> I'm not complaining. At least they were there. :) These are all THROCKMORTON from counties in OH.
