Ohio Obituary Records

Ohio is a much more populated state than most people realize, despite its somewhat small size, which can make finding older obituaries a bit difficult. Thankfully, the residents here have worked hard to put thousands of older listings online through several different sites. You can begin your search for Ohio obituary records by checking out the site for the Ohio Historical Society. They have listings that go back to 1913 and go forward to 1937. The Amherst Library has many local listings online from as far back as the 1980's that were published in area newspapers. The Ashtabula County Public Library has almost 17,000 different listings online from the last few years that go from 1896 to the present day. The website Cincinnati.com has listings from 2004 to the present online. These listings mainly come from the main city newspaper, the Enquirer, but there are also listings from the Post newspaper, as well. The Clark County Public Library has many listings online you can check, as well. They are from 1926 all the way up to today and come from the local Springfield newspaper. One final place you can check is the Cleveland Public Library. They have tens of thousands of listings online from the local area.
