I have started to transcribe the Keweenaw births in the first volume from the county clerk records. Finally got the beginning online last night at: http://www.mfhn.com/keweenaw/kew_births/ The above are also indexed with a link in the Early Michigan Birth database at: http://www.mifamilyhistory.org/mfhn_births/ The above has a large amount of births in it that Betty has indexed from obituaries for Houghton, Keweenaw and surrounding areas. Michigan Death database: http://www.mifamilyhistory.org/mfhn_deaths/ Houghton researchers should keep a look out in surrounding counties for their vitals also. There are some good research tips that are coming through on the Houghton list. Glad to see them.
