[Genealib] AncestryLibraryEdition

[Forsyth, William]

Kathy,
 
I've been participating in the Natl Genealogical Society Conference (in Chicago) and this is my first chance to reply.  There may be a broken link in the Ohio data.  I'll investigate asap, but might not be able to get back to you until Saturday morning.  You may also contact ALE Tech Support directly:

Hello All!!

 

  A patron pointed out that AncestryLibraryEdition lists Ohio Deaths, 1908-1944 and 1958-2002 as part of their collection.  But if you search for any death record from the earlier period, 1908-1944, you get 0 results.  Even if you are searching by common names like Smith and Johnson. 

 

  Has anyone else any experience with this?  Are they planning to add the earlier death records and just haven't done it??  Is it temporarily unavailable?  

 

  Of course, the Ohio Historical Society does have an online index for the earlier deaths, and this patron was aware of that, but it is convenient to not have to search in two separate online resources.
