Michigan County Facts
Records at the county level are the responsibility of different offices?office of the county clerk: birth, death, and marriage; register of deeds: land records; office of the probate judge: probate files; and circuit court office or office of the county clerk: circuit court records.
For some counties, there are two years listed for ?Date Formed.? The first is the year the county was created, the second is the year it was fully organized if it differs from the creation year. Under the heading ?Formed From ,? the name/s listed may be the county or counties from which the respective county was formed, or it may be names by which the county was originally known. ?Unorganized? denotes that it was formed from non-county lands. A county name in parentheses is the county to which the unorganized land may have been attached at that time. Counties listed with an asterisk (*) are those in which you may also find records for the respective county. It may have been ?attached? to that county for some period of time.
The date listed for each category of record is the earliest record known to exist in that county. It does not indicate that there are numerous records for that year and certainly does not indicate that all such events that year were actually registered.
