I found his brother's info in Liber B, Wexford County deaths, 1909, (microfilm, of course), at the local LDS center. unfortunately, they don't have Saginaw County's microfilm here. Also found the record of his brother's children's marriages the same way. Then, I just copied the microfilm of those pages. When they make a certified copy, it is my understanding they read those books and transcribe the information onto a new paper. If they misread it, or if their eye skips a line, they get the wrong information down. - marilyn C.
