City of Youngstown, Mahoning County, OH Public Records

• Where do I find a copy of my deceased father's will?
  Start by checking the county probate office where the will could have been located.
• Where do I find out if someone died at a specific location?
  You can check incident reports using crime maps of many neighborhoods/cities. Once you put the city name, follow it with "crime map" in your browser's search. You will see several sites which offer local incidents reported by the police; their coverage can be different, with one site showing more than others. Some will only show sex offenders, which can give the impression that other police reports are also included. The last crime mapping I used listed the agencies reporting the incidents, and a date range can also be selected.
• Where can I find access to a free background check?
  There can be many databases that will give you instant results and are free. However, once you begin to request documents, copies, and records that need to be retrieved, you will usually incur fees. Some of the larger departments will have better public services as their budgets allow, usually cities or counties with higher population concentration. Depending on the records you need for the background check, you can still get away with conducting free searches with valuable information. An example is the Mahoning county court which allows open public access to cases, criminal, civil, divorces, and so forth. You can search for criminal cases by name only and see details of the arrested person, the degree of the offense, charges, and more. Although the case search is by name only, it can be narrowed if you have other information specific to the case. If you do not have anything more than the name (hopefully not a common name), you can see more information once inside the cases' link, where you can view more descriptions of the defendant and details, which can help you know if you are searching the right person. This webpage explains and takes you to public access to cases filed in the county courts.mahoningcountyoh.gov.
