Although I am not sure that he knows much more than I do, I have gone ahead and contacted the Stong family researcher on Rootsweb.
As for the new Seeking Michigan website, it's become one of my main resources! The problem comes in when I have to deal with the earlier MI deaths...those that occured between 1867 and 1897. The transcribed records for those are available through the LDS site but they do not include the full actual images. Even though some of the missing data is sometimes included in the transcription, the second page of the actual microfilmed record is missing. As a result of this, crucial bits such as cause of death are not available until the Seeking Michigan site kicks in for the 1898-1920 deaths.
