How can I find ohio death records for 1990?

Answer 1

I have a database on Ancestry that has transcribed the Ohio death records for the years 1908-1944 and 1958-2002. I would be happy to do a look up for you if you send me the names via E-mail through my profile. Blessings

For quick and easy, I have to agree with first answer.. using the ssdi.. which I have learned to "tweak", using advanced search. I left the name blank and ran it for ohio and 1990... getting some 30,000+ persons. Bit much to search if you have to browse, since it isn't alphabetical. But I then played with one county name, and narrowed to 418 in Richland county for that year. Many times, when I can't find someone who should be there, I'll run it using the surname alone and state, and year (county if I know it). This can pick up an entry where the person's first name is different than expected (example, I just knew the nickname) .
As pointed out, this is just an index, that can NARROW the possibilities. It can make it obvious (as in one person I am currently working) that there were 2 Earl Huttos, both born in 1907 in Texas. Once I hit someone, I often go back again with just the surname and fill in that same zip code to look for possible relatives.
Since it is an index, it does not give the kind of details that you might want from the actual certificate. Sometimes I need the certificate, sometimes not.
This index is not infallible. I have been hitting my head against the wall for the death date/place for another person. I finally cross checked the Texas index, and located her, then confirmed it with a online file from that county (not all counties have that posted). I re ran it via ssdi.. and this lady is NOT included in ssdi.
My approach is to cross check with as many different sources as I can... since there can be discrepancies.

The records are kept in 3 places.

The first is the town or city hall where the person died (if it was inside the incorporated limits of a city)

In the office of the County Clerk for the county where the person died (the very best place to get them)

In the office of Vital Statistics for the State of Ohio (hardest place to get them).

People will tell you to look at SSDI. But SSDI only tells you that the person did die. It doesn't tell you where they died nor how they died.

If you have a hard time finding a death certificate (especially if the person died out of state and was brought home for burial) then see if you can find the funeral home that handled the arrangements. They have a copy of the death certificate and any obituaries that they placed for the family in their records and you can ask them either for copies or for the information on how to get them for yourself.

Hey Anthony,

You can look in several places, normally you start in the local municipal location vital records center. They usually move the records to the state. The local records will be cheaper if you want the certificate.

To find your local Vital Record office, search at the YAHOO SEARCH for "VITAL RECORD ", and then read the websites to see how you can order one. It is usually cheaper if you happen to be in the area, just go to the record office.
