This morning I was able to connect to and use the Michigan Death Records, 1897-1920 database at seekingmichigan.org. Access was quick! Give it a try.
Alas, I found no hits for my ancestors. I’ll check again when more records are added.

I was just at Shiawassee County Clerks yesterday June 9 2009.
Unless you purchase a Death Certificate there you can not view it.
I am wondering if there are other counties like this and that is why we are not finding some of our ancestors.
This is the only county I have found in Michigan. Go to the Shiawasse Library in Owosso, Their genealogy is good. Obits by year in books. Death and Marriage records are public records. I was going to write congressman for Shiawasse.

Wonderful site.I found so much information through the information gleaned from the death index. Thanks to the state of Michigan for their help in finding ancestors

Ben, I only have his dates of birth and death. I am trying to find his parents and where the came from, I haven’t done anything since 2010. I have looked everywhere and am very frustrated. Can you help. Thanks, Gary
Hi Gary. To help you I need more specific information about what you know and your sources. If you’ll send me a family group sheet on him I’ll have a look at what you’ve done and share any ideas I have.
If that sounds good let me know in a reply here then I’ll email you so you have my email address to send the family group sheet to me as a PDF.
With best regards,

Hi Ben,
I know Roswell was born 1791 in Penfield Ontario New York. Died 1866 fould grave site at Gresham Cemetery Vermontville, Michigan (miss spelled name Boswell, but on stone is Roswell). Hi s son was Samuel G. Paine born 1824 in Penfield Ontario NY, died 1899 in Charlotte, Eaton Co. Michigan. I really am trying to find any information on Roswell and his wife, I belong to Ancestry.com and can’t find anything on Samuel’s parents. Does that help? I know my sister has posted many family members but she is wrong on some of them so I am not sure where she got the info. Thanks for your help.
Repectfully,
Gary and Deborah
FYI Just starting a family tree on Ancestry site.
