Our process starts with a preliminary contact form, and if we don't have your lineage, a lineage review form. You can download both forms at www.ohiomayflower.org from the Membership page.

Ohio Birth & Death Records, Part Deux
For Ohio birth and death records 1867 to 1908, check out the FamilySearch.org Ohio County Birth, Marriage and Death records. Some counties started recording deaths in the probate court after the Civil War, although few began earlier. If no records are found on the microfilm, try going to the probate court in person and ask if the early records can be photographed. I know in the Huron, Richland, and Ashland Counties allow a person digitally photograph the old records (color is better in my opinion - makes it more real). Sometimes going through the Ohio probate records. The images are unindexed, but well worth the search. That is how I managed to connect an ancestress to her parents through her father's Will in the Ashtabula probate records.
