Mary,

The deed indexes are copies of originals at the Washtenaw County Register of
Deeds office on North Main Street in Ann Arbor. The LDS library does not
copies of deeds and you will have to get a copy at the Register of Deeds.
They charge $1.00/page. The "99" should be the liber or book number that the
deed is recorded in . After the name itself, you should have the page number
where the deed is recorded. The very early books are alphabetical and begin
with book "A' and go to 'ZZ' before the numbers begin. You will need the
book number, page and name to obtain the deed itself.

Hope this helps,

Jan
Ann Arbor
