*{{RecordSearch|1307272|Ohio Deaths, 1908-1953}}
 
Look at the images one by one comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine which one is your ancestor. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to make this determination.
 
To begin your search it is helpful to know the following:
 
*The place where the death occurred
*The name of the person at the time of death
*The approximate death date
 
Compare the information in the death record to what you already know about your ancestor to determine if this is the correct person. You may need to compare the information of more than one person to make this determination.
 
When you have located your ancestor’s death record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family.
 
For example:
 
*Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth to find or verify their birth records and parents' names.
*Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth to find the family in census records.
*Use the residence and names of the parents (if the deceased is a child) to locate church and land records.
*Occupations listed can lead you to other types of records such as employment records or military records.
*Use the parents' birth places to find former residences and to establish a migration pattern for the family.
*The name of the officiator is a clue to their religion or area of residence in the county.
*The name of the undertaker or mortuary could lead you to funeral and cemetery records, which often include the names and residences of other family members.
*Compile the entries for every person who has the same surname; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual.
*Continue to search the records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives of the deceased who may have died or been buried in the same county or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify.
*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
 
If you are unable to find the ancestors you are looking for, try the following:
 
*Check for variant spellings of the surnames.
*Check for an. There are often indexes at the beginning of each volume.
*Search the indexes and records of nearby counties.
 
Keep in mind:
 
*The information in these records is usually reliable, but depends upon the reliability of the informant.
*Earlier records may not contain as much information as the records created after the late 1800s.
*There is also some variation in the information given from one record to another record.
