Death records are important to confirm facts about our ancestors and their relationships. Records in Lake county are at the courthouse in Painsville.
The County Clerk records include those deaths in the county from 1867 to present. All certified records can be obtained at these two locations. Be sure to have the date narrowed down to the day or at least the year. Please be patient with the these folks as it takes time to retrieve the records.
Remember the information in a death records is only as good as the person giving the information. Be sure to confirm the information with other source records. Many times maiden names of mothers, spelling and place of birth have errors. Be certain to confirm this information.
I will be discussing the wills in Lake County. Have a great day.
