Hey all

This is a bit of a long shot really - but thought I'd ask here as I'm a bit stuck. Basically I've been doing my family tree now for a while and have got most of my lines traced back into Ireland - to about 1800.

However, I discovered that my Great Great Uncle emigrated from NW England over to Michigan in 1917, settled there married and had a family. So I've got lots of American cousins and stuff that I knew nothing about.

I found loads of old pictures and found out the name of his wife/kids etc - but I'd really like to find a marriage certificate for him as it would help me trace back my American relations further. I believe they lived in Flint.

I've tried looking on Ancestry.com - but not had much luck - they've a lot of stuff on there, but it seems just not the stuff I need. Does anyone know where I can get hold of copies of marriage certificates and birth certificates for the US - or somewhere where I can write/email to?

Like I said - a long shot, but I thought someone on here might know.

Cheers,
cavey
