Hi Larry, There are marriage and death records for Grand Traverse County available online. Go to the Weblinks page at http://www.rootsweb.com/~migtags/gtag.htm to look at them. The 1870 Census is also online, but I do not have the address. If you want more research done, GTAGS will do 1 hour of research for a $10 membership. I have saved your other information.
