Some places list the parents. Or if they married in a church, there may be a record of the parents' names. He may not have been born in Detroit but a suburb. Or where he was born was later annexed by Detroit. Detroit grew a lot between 1900 and 1920-both population wise and land. Since he died in 1936, he may not have registered for social security prior to his death but that could be another place to look. Think the cost is about $26 or $27. http://www.ssa.gov/foia/ You might want to try to see if there is a listing in a Detroit City Directory for that time period.

Got it from the www.seekingMichigan.org website which has images of death records from 1897 to 1920. For deaths from 1921-1952, the Mormon Church's website www.FamilySearch.org has an index to deaths from 1921-1952. No images yet and the State only allows them to be posted after 75 years. The Woodmere Cemetery is back operating their search engine again. That is where Annie is buried according to her death certificate.

Her last name was still shown as Martz when she died in 1989 at Kalamazoo. Three of her five children are still living, so I won't post their names. I believe one of them was adopted because he was born in 1948...well after Marty died. Two Donald and Richard, both died in 2006. All of them were born in Kalamazoo. The death certificate I have for Marty is from Indiana. It has "Unknown" for both of his parents and location of their births on the document. So far, I have not been able to find any listing for Marty on the Michigan Birth Index from 1867-1902. There were over 7,000 people born in Detroit in 1900 if you do a search without a surname. Wayve's mother was married twice and her father four times. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I'm trying to find out who his parents were although it's possible that he may have been adopted. No names are mentioned on the death certificate. Marty isn't listed on any of the U.S. Census records. He was married to Wayve M. Devall of Kalamazoo, Michigan. The two had at least four children. Marty was killed on August 27, 1936 in an accident at Rome City, Indiana. He is buried with his wife at Riverside Cemetery in Kalamazoo. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Vital Records office has divorces filed with the state since 1897, so I'm wondering if another Wayne County source would have these earlier records. The couple lived in the Martinsville post office area of Sumpter, in Wayne County, at the June 1884 Michigan State Census. He remarried in March 1890 in Wyandotte, Wayne County, and she remarried in October 1890 in Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County. Thanks - any advice is appreciated!

My suggestion would be to check the Canadian Marriages. I don't have a World Membership on Ancestry, so I can't view them myself. However, in my research I have a few family members born in Ontario, moved to Detroit, but married back in Ontario. If you have a World Membership, or know someone who does, it's worth a check just to make sure. If you haven't already done so, you may also want to check FamilySearch.org, which has a good collection of Michigan Marriage records. Good Luck!
