I can't find my person in the Ohio Death Record Index!
Answer
Try using some of these search strategies when using the Death Certificate Search:
Creative search strategies, such as using wildcard characters (?, *) can help discover names that may have been misspelled.
Check the Soundex search box. Soundex is used to search for alternate spellings of a name based on the way words sound.
Searching a particular year and county can help discover all the certificates issued that year in that county.
Clicking on the categories at the top will sort the results.
