*"History of Woodland Michigan by B. S. Holly, 1937
Lynn also submitted a Helpful Research Hint in the Mailing list about
the GENDIS Michigan Death Index. GENDIS is missing many Barry Co.
deaths. If you know for a fact that your ancestor died in Barry Co., and
he's not on GENDIS, try the LDS microfilms listed below at your nearest
Family History Center. If you don't want to use the index, and you're just
browsing, you need to know the Barry Co. vital records were often recorded
at the end of the year, when the county clerk sorted and entered them by
township. For example, if your ancestor was in Assyria Twp. in 1870, you
would look at the beginning of the 1870 entries. Likewise, if she were
in Yankee Springs, you'd look at the end of the 1870 entries. It's worth
using these films for births, especially. State law forbids issuing birth
certificates for anyone born fewer than 100 years ago, except to the person
named or her parents, to prevent identity theft. But you can photocopy
the filmed pages from the county clerk's ledgers for more recent births.

Go to the Barry County Clerks Vital Records page and find your ancestors' information in the death section as listed below: There are a few rules to follow: 1st: The people must
look up the records they want me to transcribe and then send this information to
me by E-Mail.
2nd: If they wish to
have a photo copy of the record sent to them by U.S. Postal Service, I need a
stamped self return envelope
sent to me at:
with a check or money order to
cover the cost of photo copying the records they requested. I'll have go to
the Hastings Public Library to get the pages at $.30 (30 cents) per page, each
of these records are two pages (a left and a right side).
3rd: I can make a copy of the
record with my scanner and E-Mail this to them, but they are often large and
take a long time to send. BUT, I will do this for them and then they can print
it out themselves.
Please remember, Daniel has ONLY Liber A, B & C and you must locate the basic information from the Barry County Vital Records site to send to Daniel so he can locate the correct record for you. Daniel is in the process of getting Birth Books B & C photocopied as money permits. If he have the pages of these two photo copied, he will transcribe them; BUT, he will not make special trips to the Library to get pages. His income is limited. This is a most generous offer, folks, so please follow the directions
and THANK YOU DANIEL!!
