Joseph, Thank you for tracking down the "real" answer to the image question and the 75 year rule. This makes some sense but not totally. Like you I am happy to have the index and in the mean time if I have a "gotta get" cert can always send for a copy of it. marge -----Original Message----- From: gc-gateway <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: MIWAYNE-L <MIWAYNE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tue, May 7, 2013 3:17 pm Subject: [MIWAYNE] Michigan Death Records 1921-1952 This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
