Registers of births, etc.

The collection is arranged alphabetically in folders by family surnames. Each surname contains narrative about the family, personal recollections by the compiler, photos, charts and forms, and genealogical documents. Documents include copies of vital records such as birth, marriage, and death certificates, Census records, obituaries, land records, and others.  

This collection contains manuscripts and notes used to write family histories on both the Stevens family and Gray family. Casimir P Stevens used the information from his genealogical research to write several books on both families from about 1918 to 1940. Typed original copies of his books were included in the donation and have been added to the Midwest Genealogy Center book collection. Photographs of family members in the collection date around the early twentieth century.
