go to mich.gov and go to vital records. they will give you the phone number and other information for contacts. I asked for naturalization for my ggrandfather and they called and asked if I wanted to really pursue it as there was not much information gathered at the time he came over. They are nice and helpful but busy. so you may want to email and ask if the information you are seeking was gathered at that time....it wasn't standardized for awhile and some counties gathered more than others, and some didn't submit it to the state, if that is the case they will tell you where to check. Good luck. ------- Original Message ------- >From : Brian[mailto:[email protected]] Sent : 11/20/2007 1:26:53 PM To : [email protected] Cc : Subject : RE: [MI-GENEALOGY] Michigan death certificate, 1891-- Leah Eatinger Hello. I am trying to find information about the Eatinger family who lived in Wakeshma (Kalamazoo) in the 1800's. I have the parents as Benjamin and Leah (Rinehart) Eatinger. I have census records that have information, and I found an online index of Factoryville Cemetery that has their dates listed as: Benjamin: May 6, 1810 to April 27, 1888 Leah: June 17, 1815 to October 4, 1891 The person I am particularly interested in is Leah. I believe that she may be my gggg grandfather's sister, and I am hoping that by finding out more about her, it may help me go back one generation beyond them. I know in Ohio that death certificates lists parents' names-- do Michigan certificates do the same thing? Would there be a certificate available for her? If so, how would I go about getting a copy of it? Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer. Brian --------------------------------- Be a better sports nut!

Another option for those who have access to the Library of Michigan in Lansing is to pull out the microfilms of death records. These are filmed copies - not transcriptions, which could include many errors - of death records in the state of Michigan. These films of death records go from 1867 - 1920. >From the Library of Michigan website: http://www.michigan.gov/hal "The 1897-1920 Michigan Death Records, a brand-new resource that is available at the Library of Michigan, will benefit family history researchers across the state. "This records set supplements the Library's existing vital records collection, which also includes Michigan death records from 1867 to 1897, and fills a gap in Michigan genealogical research," said Randy Riley, Special Collections Manager at the Library of Michigan. "These statewide records were not previously available outside of the Michigan Department of Community Health, so this is a real boost for genealogists here, and for those who travel from other states to use the Library." (My friend and I make the four-hour trip there two-three times a year and stay for several days each time, as there is SOOOOOOOO much information at that library!) They also have all of the census films, lots of information from Ontario, Canada (the birthplace of many Michigan residents' ancestors), a whole, huge section of Michigan-only information and maps, and more than I can describe. Genealogy books by the thousands, computer access to New England Historical and Genealogical Society (NEHGS, a super-valuable source for New England ancestors) and other genealogical sites. Checking the online site will give you a better overview of their resources. I am not an employee there, just a *fan* who appreciates that we have access to all of these resources here in our own state.
