I have checked this site
http://www.mdch.state.mi.us/PHA/OSR/gendis/INDEX.HTM for death
record but only goes to 1870's.
Does anyone know if there is a site for deaths in Michigan (preferably Chippewa County -
but the one site I found did not have much) or do I have to write to county clerks office.
Would I have to write county or capital?
I am looking for death of William Cook(e) who I think died on Neebish Island prob late
1800's or year 1900
and his wife Alice (Morton) Cook who supposedly died when she was 85 - she was born 1811
- so prob died around 1896 or so. They lived with son George on Neebish Island and are
said to be buried there.
Any ideas? They lived in Canada probably until 1890 at least (as that is when son
George moved to Michigan) so was just wondering how deaths were handled in those days
between the two borders? Where would it be registered?
Thanks for any input.
