I would begin by looking for an obituary on sites like Genealogy Bank or Newspapers.com. Perhaps your brother or other family members have a copy of the certificate?

There are many people that I've looked for the "should" be on that list and aren't. Course many of those would have been in Wayne, where the majority of my ancestors lived. I'll keep your tip in mind and make sure I check that film. I can make myself a list and see if the film is permanently stored at our FHC or I could order it.

I have four or five from the "to 1939" batch that I can't find {even have the indexed spelling and image number] and with the group for 1940 I have seven deaths, one was in Germany and the other six? Well have managed to find one so far. Makes one wonder how the OCR is reading this stuff!

T...A bit of insight on the GENDIS 1867-1897 index. This was done by volunteers from genie groups around the state back in the late 1990's. Copies of pages were given out and transcription was hand written. I don't remember if they were double checked or not, but given that everything was hand written, the margin for error is huge! Eventuality, the sheets where turned in and forwarded to the state, I think. I think this one of the Library of Michigan projects. Not all counties were done completely. UUmmm Wayne comes to mind! So, remember this database is not the gospel according to [find in your choice]. If you have reason to believe someone should be there, get the films and double check. How do I know this? I worked on this project back then.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04414864567503807582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211578983663662204.post-87083195522015710082014-02-06T10:02:14.288-08:002014-02-06T10:02:14.288-08:00Great.

There is a great Facebook group with many people knowledgeable about Detroit research where you might want to post your question.

I did know that I've learned to be quite creative in my searches. Thank you for the information. <br />I also did not know that it was Seeking Michigan and not Family Search, that will be posting the images for the death certs from 1921-1952. I guess 75 yrs. is better than not having any of them. <br />One thing I've learned over the years is that none of us can know everything. The collaborative nature of genealogy is wonderful and we all seem to help one another. I learn something new all the time. I will add your suggestion about the county websites to my post.<br />Thank you for visiting,<br />DianeDiane Gould Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362418860289987479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211578983663662204.post-44235232627998344492014-01-05T20:55:56.982-08:002014-01-05T20:55:56.982-08:00The Family Search index is better because you can ...The Family Search index is better because you can do a fuzzy search whereas on GENDIS exact spelling is the only option so if it was indexed wrong you're out of luck. Unfortunately, not all deaths (or births for that matter) were actually recorded. It depended on the supervisor/assessor's diligence and people's memories when he did his yearly rounds to collect the information (if he did at all). As for the images for death certificates 1921-1952, Seeking Michigan will be posting those, not Family Search. But, due to the 75-year limit on making death information public, they'll only upload the ones they are allowed to and then as another year passes they'll add the next available year. <br />You might also recommend that people check individual county webpages because many of them have online searchable indexes. You may not get the certificate, but you can at least find DOD.Sonja Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882161369011476773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211578983663662204.post-31419190912935774272013-12-29T18:21:37.898-08:002013-12-29T18:21:37.898-08:00Deidre - Thank you!

I have used the records on GENDIS for so many years that I hadn't remembered that they'd been added to familysearch.org in the past couple of years. I will make the correction on my post, and of course, let my readers know that you pointed out my omission. <br /><br />Thanks Again,<br />DianeDiane Gould Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362418860289987479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211578983663662204.post-24631498239595432572013-12-29T12:49:47.932-08:002013-12-29T12:49:47.932-08:00You know that all records listed on GENDIS are ful...You know that all records listed on GENDIS are fully available on Family Search under Michigan, Deaths, 1867-1897.
