James W Wood and his wife adopted a son Charles H who was born on mar 27 1872 , eventually died june 5 1906. They moved to MISSAUKEE countyy between 1880 and 1900 and lived there the rest of their lives. I'm trying to find out where Charles life started from. Any ideas?

Order Charles' death cert. It should give parents names unless he was never told their names.

Thanks for the info. I already tried the death certificate route....parents listed as unknown. Another mystery with this death is why the date of death on the tombstone is off from the actual date of death by nearly six months......JC
