I'm trying to get some death certificates for family research. I've scoured the Detroit website but I can't figure out to obtain or order them. There are some online services that claim that they can order them for you. Does anyone have info on or experience with this?
Detroit Birth & Death Records
1151 Taylor Street, Detroit, MI 48202-1732
[[313) 876-4049
It's old Herman Kiefer Hospital
You may have to go in person. If you don't live in the area I don't know if I'd trust those services.
State of Michigan should have the info you need. Michigan Department of Community Health. Link:http://www.michigan.gov/mdch/0%2C160...5---%2C00.html
Many early death certificates from Michigan [[say 1890 - 1925 or so) are on line. I've found a number of my family's certificates there.

Just type in the surname on the search box.
