Navigating Michigan Vital Records Prior to 1867 Zoom
Thursday, April 2, 2026 - 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm
Prior to 1867, Michigan had no statewide system for recording vital events, making it difficult to locate documentation of birth, marriage, and death from the state’s early decades of statehood. Explore the initial legislation and practices that eventually led to statewide civil registration of major life events. Review alternative sources that may provide key details when a vital record was lost or never recorded.
