"In 1867 a law requiring county registration of births and deaths was enacted in Ohio. Later, in 1908, another law went into effect shifting the responsibility of birth and death registration over from the county to the state. This is when certificates began being issued. Pre-1908 records are held by county probate courts, while post-1908 records are held by the Office of Vital Statistics. This database contains death records for Summit County, Ohio from 1866-1908. The originals are located in the Summit County Probate courthouse in Akron, Ohio."
