Effective August 1, 2015 - A fee of $25.00 with .25 cents per page after 12 pages.
Note: In 1867, Ohio passed a law that birth and deaths were to be recorded, but not all were. As the Licking County
Courthouse burned in 1875 there are no birth or death records prior to 1875. A few marriages were re-recorded but
again not all were. Ohio did not issue birth or death certificates until 20 December 1908.
The best way to send information and names to be researched
is by email, or postal mail.
If sent by email, research will not begin until
we receive your money order or check.
Please indicate the extent of your own research so LCGS
work will not be duplicated.
LCGS is staffed by volunteers so it can take up to two weeks
to hear from us.
If you send a letter, please include your email
address or telephone number so we may contact you if needed.
Note: Long distance calls can not be returned.
You can contact us at 740-349-5510, or email:
