how can i look up death records in michigan 1965 for free?
I’m trying to find out information on my grandmother.she was born in michigan and also died in michigan.in 1965.i’m doing a family tree with ancestry.com and i’m stuck.i need some where to look up free vital record.
Yo could try www.findagrave.com
too. The best entries have a copy of the obit, a couple of memories by family members and links to spouses, children and parents. Not all of the entries have them, of course.
If she died in 1965, she was probably born before 1930. She could have been married with 3 kids in 1930. If you post a new question with her name, birth year and children alive before 1930, one of us may look her up on the census for you. There is a 10% chance one of the people living with her family will be an aged parent.
Try these:
http://www.michigan.gov/mdch/0,1607,7-132–14297–,00.html
http://www.deathindexes.com/michigan/index.html
If these don’t help you, you will have to order, for a fee, a death certificate from the State or county she died in. I have found the counties are faster at getting it.

Sometimes the more recent records, like from 1965 to present, aren’t available because other family members might still be alive. Just info to take into consideration. Also try the Social Security Death Index at their website:
