1922 is outside the range that the state of Michigan has freed for public use, so you must apply to the county clerk where the death occurred, be a direct descendent of the person for whom you are looking, and will probably be required to state your relationship. Since you have the death certificate number, you must know in which county Joseph Polzin died. Go to that county's website and follow their instructions for obtaining the certificate.

Another good Michigan link for county histories is http://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/micounty/. The Michigan County Histories and Atlases Digitization Project is comprised of 428 digitized titles (many composed of multiple volumes) published before 1923. The collection offers all members of the community free keyword searching and page-by-page access to digitized reproductions of Michigan county histories and atlases as a resource for historical and genealogical research.

THANK YOU so much for posting this. I used the SeekingMichigan.org link above for the Death records and FINALLY found my GGfather's record, learning his parents names and his birth and death dates. VERY GRATEFUL for this post! SeekingMichigan.org is an awesome site in other respects too, just spent hours looking at the photo collection of MAIN STREETS.
