From Marlton, NJ

The State of Ohio has a much better access to birth and death records
than most any other state.

Birth and death record copies can be purchased at a county Health
Department. The price varies (25¢ to $3.00) for uncertified copies,
but $7.00 seems to be the standard price for certified copies.

The State of Ohio will provide copies of Ohio Birth (from 1909 and
later) and Death (1945 and later) certificates. To write for a copy
of an Ohio birth or death certificate, send a request letter to:

State of Ohio
Department of Health
Bureau of Vital Statistics
246 N. High Street
P. O. Box 15098
Columbus, Ohio 43215-0098
U.S.A.

The latest fee schedule for uncertified copies is $0.03 each plus a
fee for mailing within the United States (33¢ for 1-5 copies; 77¢ for
6-13 copies; $0.99 for 14-20 copies). They want a check or money
order made out to "Treasury, State of Ohio". It usually takes between
6 and 18+ weeks before you hear from them (either a copy of the
certificate or a note that they could not find it for some reason.)
Certified copies are seven dollars each.

Ohio death certificates from 1909 to 1945 can be ordered from the
Ohio Historical Society in Columbus. The basic fee is $1.00 per
certificate plus postage. Detailed ordering information and pricing
can be found at their web site <http://www.ohiohistory.org/>;

I trace my family history so I will know whom to blame.
