I have not had any luck going to the MI GedCom to find my GGGrandfathers death. According to family stories, he died in Mecosta County in 1883. I have found nothing at the County Clerks office either. Anyone have any other suggestions? His name was Christof Mindel, born April 1822 in Germany and came to MI in 1870 with his wife Katherina and their family. Thanks ----- Rosalyn
