The Muskegon Chronicle - Newspaper Vital Statistics

FORWARD

I have compiled this index of the vital statistics appearing in The Muskegon Chronicle in the hope it will be useful to those who are pursuing genealogical or any other research. I have attempted to make it simple and as error-free as possible. Included are any Adoptions, Anniversaries, Birthdays, Births, Engagements, Obituaries, and Weddings.

It has been arranged as an alphabetical index by name, including cross-indexing of maiden and previous married names and aliases. The name is followed by a code indicating the type of record it is, along with the date and page number. The codes are defined below.

Please be sure to refer to the digital images (at Torrent House) to view and obtain copies of any records. The index should only be used as a guide in obtaining the actual record. Also, remember that newspaper records are not guaranteed to be accurate. Please use them as a reference in obtaining other corroborating records.

If you find any errors or omissions, please report them to MCGS at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
