They charge the fee even if they don't find anything. http://www.detroit.lib.mi.us/specialservice/obituary-search You might want to try the Detroit Society for Genealogical Research (DSGR)to see if they might help. http://www.dsgr.org/ Click on "Contact" and there is a researcher listed. I would try the DSGR first. The Burton Historical Collection of the main Detroit Public Library has a list of researchers. http://www.detroit.lib.mi.us/featuredcollection/burton-historical-collection Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
