Well - thanks everyone - including our map-reading
friend out West. I live not too far from that area in
question (Chicago), but I didn't grow up here, and I'm
not too familiar with the surrounds. I did notice in
some of my genealogy research, that when certain
families came West from Eastern states, they brought
with them the same town and county names as the places
they came from, and I've noticed families go from New
York to Michigan and then to Indiana, and the place
names seem to repeat themselves here and there. I'm
wondering, then, if St. Joseph in Michigan and Indiana
may have had some of the same families groups as early
settlers -- ???? Could be - especially if they're a
stone's throw (well, almost).
