Gratiot Co. Research Help List
The Gratiot Co. Genealogical and Historical Society helped LDS get a lot of Gratiot Co. records filmed. It is one of the best collections I have seen for any county in Michigan or the USA for that matter.
The LDS - Family History Centers allow the general public to view films at their locally at many of their centers through out the US and world. The centers are staffed by volunteers to help you get started and aren't necessarily church members. The cost here is $3.25 to rent a film for 1 month and you can renew any film. Handling charges may be added at some LDS - FHCs. Many of the LDS FHCs have evening and week end hours for those who work during the day. Use the link to find one near you.

I chose records for this list beyond the courthouse vital records, probate, census and a land and map collection and the 3 books about Gratiot Co. that contain biographies. This should give researchers an idea of what they can get their hands on locally for Gratiot Co. and there is still more than this list of D.A.R. records that I can think of off hand for Gratiot Co. which includes early cemetery transcriptions and others they did.
