Grass Lake Birth Records
I have a birth certificate of my grandmothers oldest brother,
George J. RAGAR b. 3-11-1886 in Grasslake, Jackson Co. Mi.
Child of Alonzo Ragar and Mary Ragar.......( last name should be RAGER)
Can anyone tell me where I can find more information on Grasslake, and if that's how it's actually spelled.
Would like to find plat maps so I know where they were farming at the time.
His birth certificate was filed a year after he was born, does that sound like something that happens if he was born at home.......or is there a hospital near by that he would have been born in? It doesn't say on the birth Cert. but this would have been the first child born to this mother and i'm not sure if that was normal back then. Also, his parents were married, first cousins.....was that normal back then too?
Thanks for your input,
Penny
