Hi Deb, http://www.flintjournal.com/125/past/indexpast.html I can answer that the Flint Journal was around in 1947 Kind regards Darlene ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debbie Schrah" <dschrah@yahoo.com> To: <MI-GENEALOGY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 08, 2005 7:40 PM Subject: [MI-Genealogy] Bobby Coons > I found out that his date of death was 7-17-1947 age 7. Flint, MI. I was told he was taken directly from the site of his death to the funeral home. Is it possible a death cert. wasn't required then? Some of the family think there was a write up about it in the paper, any way to check this on line? I don't even know if it was the Flint Journal back then. Any help appreciated.
