The LDS site familysearchlabs.org has all those too (all of Michigan up to 1925); but this confirmed what I thought I had found...the LDS site used the state records, county records serve as a second listing of all the names. My next step is to get some obits which should clue me on on those who married after 1925. AGAIN THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK...It has been a great help to me as I do not live in Michigan.
