Hard To Find Calhoun Co., Michigan, Deeds

CALHOUN COUNTY, MICHIGAN INDEX TO GRANTOR DEEDS
APRIL 1865 TO JANUARY 1901

Property transfers that occurred as the result of probate action were indexed under "Will" rather than the Grantor's name! So, nearly 40 years of these transactions (1865-1901) were virtually inaccessible to researchers unless they had accidentally stumbled across these several hundred people with the "surname" of "Will!"

Here are two examples: 

10 1889 February 5    George Cameron L126 594
11 1891 October 12   Zachariah Umstead L138 52
