Ralph David Hoffman
Birth Certificate -
I requested a birth certificate from the Ohio Department of Health, Office of Vital Statistics (PO Box 15098, Columbus OH 15098 and phone 614-466-2531) They have no record. They suggested I contact the county directly.
*Next, I contacted Van Wert County Vital Statistics at 419-238-0808x100. They checked for records and called me back. They also have no records. They suggested I try Probate Court for a possible delayed birth certifcate.
*Next, I contacted Van Wert County Probate Court. Talked to Dee and she said that they also have no records. She suggested that he never had one.
