---|
The information contained in this index includes: the decedent's full name, sex, marital status, date of death, and age indicated
by years, months and days. Additionally, it contains the location of the record. This website lists the names in alphabetical order. On the film, please note the records through June 1906 are listed in roughly chronological order. After this date, the records are listed first by the township recording the death and then roughly by chronological order. You must find the township section first in order to locate the death record. The microfilm includes the following additional information: Race, residence, birthplace, occupation, father's name, mother's maiden name, times previously married, marriage date, place of marriage, married by whom and witnesses. You can view this microfilm by ordering it through any LDS Family History Center. The Cheboygan Michigan Public Library and the Cheboygan branch of the LDS Family History Center have the microfilm in their files. For information on obtaining copies of actual death certificates contact the Cheboygan County Clerk, 870 South Main Street, P.O. Box 70 Cheboygan, MI 49721 Phone: 231-627-8808 Important: The records were all handwritten and in many cases very difficult to read due to incidences of faded ink, microfilm quality, illegible script, etc. It is suggested that you look at all conceivable variations of the spelling of your ancestors' names. Some letters particularly caused problems - for instance was it a "u", "v", "w", "m" or "n? Also, it is to be noted that the recorder misspelled many names as well. Be particularly mindful of misspellings and abbreviations of given names, i.e. Wm., Jas., Jno., etc. What is listed in this index is what was seen since it is impossible to know whether a name was a misspelled or whether it was a deviation of the correct spelling.
