DO NOT REQUEST A DEATH CERT. FOR A MARRIED WOMAN USING HER MAIDEN NAME. Records older than 1970 must be ordered thru the state of Mich. I'm thinking the state will do a /- 3 yrs search. U must supply the correct name and DOB. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
