Michigan Death Records 1897-1920 Thursday, August 6, 2009

A set of Michigan Death Records 1897-1920 is now on-line. I've been accessing them for the last couple of months .. and its wonderful to have them available. Not only do the records include the vital information, but each has an image of the associated death certificate as well.

What's available at the site:

• The years 1897-1918 and 1920 are now complete for the entire state.
• 1919 is partially completed
  
• Detroit and Wayne County are complete for the entire run of 1897-1920.

More on the WHS -- what records are located in this database?

• Pre-1907 vital records, including birth, death, and marriage records
• Wisconsin Name Index entries, including biographical sketches, obituaries, and newspaper articles published before 2000

Once you locate items in the Wisconsin Genealogy Index, you can then request a copy of that particular record directly from WHS.

Records I have requested to date include:

• Kluge, Carl Julius and Christiane Dobler marriage certificate
• Kluge, Christoph death certificate
• Gamache, Antoine marriage certificate
• Commemorative Biographical Record of the Fox River Valley plus addendum
