The addresses are listed below as are the types of records each hold. While I have never had a problem finding parking space at either courthouse, the spaces are limited and you may have to park in the lot located on Mack St. east of the Probate Courthouse. This is a very short walk to both courthouses. Marriage and death records are available to the public and have been indexed from 1867-1933 in ledger books. After that they are available on microfilm.
Birth records are closed.
They are however, available to the individual named on the birth record, the parents of the person named, a legal guardian, a legal representative or an heir of the person named on the record. An heir is defined as any relative of a deceased person. The date and place of death of the person must be provided when a copy of a birth record is requested by an heir. This is the law throughout Michigan. The clerks for Shiawassee county are very willing and happy to help genealogists with their searches.
