Brenda,
Thanks for mentioning GENDIS in the MI Death Records information you posted. I was going to mention that too. It can be very helpful.

Thanks to Brenda and Kerri for your help. I had been using Firefox as a browser and for some reason it wouldn't allow me to right click to save the image. But when I used another browser, it was fine. What a valuable resource this Seeking Michigan website is!

I had tried to right-click on seekingmichigan and it would not let me in FF but the other day I dl google-chrome and that does allow me to save them on my computer with a right-click.

I made a note on seekingmichigan here: http://www.genealogywise.com/forum/topics/michigan-death-records

I have not seen a way to save vs printing other then scanning the printed image.

Debra, I just right click on the image and select save picture as...
I'm glad you were able to find some death certs for your family.

Thanks, Kerri, for letting us know about the Seeking Michigan site! I have already found some death certificates for one branch of my family. I haven't found a way to save the images as jpg files, however, other than by printing them off and then scanning them. Does anyone know if the site allows us to save the images?

If you are researching family in Michigan you need to take a look at www.seekingmichigan.org. Several months before the site was put up I spent $25 for a death certificate through the state because I could not find the county where this ancestor died. His death certificate is now available for free on seekingmichigan.org. They have death certs from 1897-1920.

I live in Barry county, MI but I have several family members that live in Bellevue, MI. Lisa, the Eaton County Genealogical society might be able to help you with your Edwin Harris research: http://www.miegs.org/

I have been searching for my ancestor, Edwin Harris who says he was born in Bellevue Michigan in 1841. I have traced a possible lead back to Jackson County Michigan, and currently am getting the records for that lead. Edwin worked on the Railroads and ended up in Atchison, Kansas. According to the census, Edwin's parents were born in New York.

My boys were born in Flint and we lived there for 17 years. Hard to believe its been almost 19 years ago since we left there. I am both a U of M and MSU alumni. Come basketball and football season, I feel like I have a split personality. ;o)

My children's paternal ancestors were pioneers in the Huron area communities such as Colfax and Bad Axe as well as Paris and Lake Township. One particular ancestor was their gg grandmother, Ethel (Hogan) Gotts, a Canadian who immigrated to Michigan in 1885 at the age of five and can be traced up until 1920. She supposedly died as a result of the Flu Epidemic that year but can find no other record of her. She left twelve children. Have been trying to find her death information for about 7 years.
