Ohio death certificates

[Genealiza]

I found this notice today at my local library.

"As part of an ambitious project, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has indexed and digitized the OHIO DEATH CERTIFICATES from Dec. 20, 1908-1953.  This FREE resource may be accessed by visiting https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1307272

Footnote: the librarian said that he had heard that the site had crashed due to the volume of interest.  It might be advisable to wait a week or so before attempting to enter the site.

*Edited to fix link

I've been using this for about 2 months and, aside from a brief period when it said the images weren't available, it's been working fine for me.  It's helped me a lot.  It also has the 1850 Census, 1900 Census (almost complete), WWII Draft Registration Cards from a few states, death records from a few states, and a few other assorted databases.

That's good news.  Hopefully the site will help lots of reseachers.

See this:  http://www.odh.ohio.gov

Birth or death records prior to 1908 are located in the probate court of county where birth/death occurred.

You could also try looking on familysearch.org.  The information may be available on microfilm and you could order it if you're near a Family History Center.

According to this website, under "Other Information", the Probate Court of Wayne County has marriage records from 1813.  There is an address and phone # listed for that court.
I don't see an email address.
