We hope to get a better copy from the Dept of Health, Vital Statistics , enabling us to scan these years and add them to the database. Please see About Birth and Death Records in Ohio for information about records from other time periods. The majority of county names will be corrected by October 1999. For use as a guide, a list of the 88 counties can be found here. OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition.
Errors can occur, particularly with letters of similar appearance.
Please take this into consideration while searching the database. Despite the use of the most up to date technology, and our best efforts, we anticipate that you may find errors in the data. We will continue to work on improving the accuracy of the data, verifying it against the hardcopy index. At regular scheduled intervals we upload corrections. All Rights Reserved.
