Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/mFB.2ACE/2773.1 Message Board Post: My understanding is that birth records are kept at the county clerk's office in a series of books. The liber number identifies which book the record is located in. The page number identifies the page within that book that the record is found. If you went to the clerk's office and asked for birth liber B and then turned to p.122, you should find the birth of your Etta Elvira Giles recorded there.

I am researching the Gentz name that prevails in the Adrian, MI phonebook. I belong to the Minnesota Gentzes and am wondering if there is any relationship with the Michigan Gentzes. The MI Gentzes I've talked to don't know. My Gentz family tree goes back to the 1500's. My immigrating ancestor was said to be sponsored (~1840) by an Uncle in the States who is unknown. I'm wondering if this uncle 'belongs' to the MI Gentzes. chris lubinski on beautiful Whidbey Island, WA [email protected] www.whoamulefarm.com

Lenawee List; One of our members has requested a Roll Call and since it's been quite a while since we've done this, let's try it again; It's a good way to find common surnames and share info with other researchers. Just make a simple list of the surnames you are researching in Lenawee Co and send it to the list. Or, add as much info as you want (no attachments, please!) Mary Teeter List Admin.

Been doing a bit of snooping for you, and so far, am coming up empty Check of the marriage index for Lenawee County we find no entry for a Frederick Schmidt, there was a Charles Frederick Ernest Schmidt that married in 1868, but his bride was one Caroline Jacobs. Sorry, but so far, coming up empty. Birth records are closely guarded these days, in Michigan they are closed from 100 to 110 years, (this changes so frequently, I am reluctant to state for sure which it is). Birth and death records were required from 1867 on, but reporting can be spotty, and not guaranteed. You could try contacting the county clerk and see if they can help you, you should be able to find contact data on the county clerk via the Lenawee County GENWEB site, snoop around, it used to be posted there on a link.
