Government records, known as civil registration, were kept in Michigan beginning in 1867. They provide full dates and places. They are indexed, and can be searched by parent names. They are especially useful because they name other family members, For example, marriage records name the parents of the bride and groom. Death records are especially helpful because they name parents, who lived years earlier, even before other records were kept. Coverage in the earlier years can be incomplete however. <br> | Government records, known as civil registration, were kept in Michigan beginning in 1867. They provide full dates and places.
