OGEMAW COUNTY, MICHIGAN
BIRTH RECORDS
| Ogemaw County was laid out as a county in 1840. Although speculators and
lumber barons began buying up large tracts of land by 1852, lumber camps did not appear
until the early 1870s. On April 27, 1875, the County of Ogemaw was legally established
and organization of county government began. Although there are several people who claim
to be the first white child born in Ogemaw, the first recorded birth in the county
ledgers was dated March, 1878, when Joseph and Florence Geroy reported the birth of their
son Joseph. Obviously there
were other births prior to this date that went unrecorded. It has also been
observed that there are some births after 1876 that were not recorded in the official
record books of the county either. Researchers should keep this in mind when searching for
information in Ogemaw County.
