== Birth Records  ==

County-level registrations of births and deaths began in 1867 and were kept by the probate court; however, they are incomplete. A few counties have records dating from the 1840s. These records include the names of the parents and their place of residence. The obligatory recording on a state level of births and deaths in Ohio began 20 December 1908.<br>Birth and death records prior to 20 December 1908 are available from the probate court of the county where the event occurred. For more information see the [[Ohio County Birth Records (FamilySearch Historical Records)|Ohio County Birth Records]] and [[Ohio County Death Records (FamilySearch Historical Records)|Ohio County Death Records]] pages.
