Resources for Antrim County



The following Antrim Co. Newspapers are on line at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City and they will do lookups for a small fee. These records are not indexed unless they made it into a Traverse City paper, so you need to know an exact date for a lookup for an Antrim County vital record.

Of course many Traverse City papers are also there, some obits from Antrim Co. made it there and those are indexed and online. http://www.nmc.edu/~library/res/record-eagle.html

They also have the Antrim County, MI Census records 1860-1920 and machines to make copies of the records.

Thank you to Jolene Kelly Pillars for her work. I am sad to report that Jolene passed away at the age of 44 in March of 2007. She will be badly missed.
