Where might I find a Marriage Record for years as early as 1855 or 1856? The couple was living in Hancock, Michigan at the time and had a daughter born on August 22, 1857 in Hancock. Thanks - Joyce Gardner

Hi Here is a link to the Houghton county court house site, It gives you what information you can obtain from them. http://www.houghtoncounty.net/directory-hcclerk.shtml Alicia Subject: [MIHOUGHT] Marriage Record Where might I find a Marriage Record for years as early as 1855 or 1856? The couple was living in Hancock, Michigan at the time and had a daughter born on August 22, 1857 in Hancock. Thanks - Joyce Gardner

Thanks Alicia - I believe I did search those very early marriage records at the court house a few years ago, and did not find what I was looking for. I wondered which churches (most likely Catholic) would hold records as early as 1855. Is there a current list of people who do research in Houghton County and/or nearby counties?
