They hold Manistee (Catholic) parish records from the 1870s up to 1900. Scroll down to the right side where it says ARCHIVES, click on this link. You can download a form to mail or fax them for a copy of the record you seek. http://www.dioceseofgaylord.org/dioceseindex.html Records after 1900 can be obtained from St. Joseph's Church in Manistee.
