Death Records

No death records were maintained by the county prior to 1867.

1867 Through 19 December 1908

County level death records were maintained by the Warren County Probate Court and can found found in Registers located in the Edna L. Bowyer Warren County Ohio Record Center & Archives. I believe that the Probate Court Registers were generated from information submitted by the various Township Assessors.

December 20, 1908 to Date

Starting December 20, 1908, official state level death certificate were required. These were issued by the Warren County Health Department with a copy sent to The Division of Vital Statistics of the Ohio Department of Health.

The Records from 20 Dec 1908 through 31 Dec 1952 were archived at the Ohio Historical Society. The Ohio Heath Department continues to hold the records from 1 Jan 1953 to the present. Copies of the Ohio Historical Society microfilms are also available at the Cincinnati Public Library and the Akron Public Library and maybe elsewhere.
