I have used websites from the assessor's office to find photos of houses
in Pennsylvania and Washington, is there such a thing in Michigan? I'm
interested in houses in Detroit and Hamtramck.
thanks,
Elise

No luck in 1850 NY which I thought would be great but 1870 was truly great.
No index for 1860 - dont even want to try it right now.
Arbela, Tuscola Co, MI, 05 June 1870
TATROW, Francis, 36, shoemaker, b. NY
Elizabeth, 27, b. NY
Francis S., 9, b. NY
Mary E., 7, b. NY
Frederick A., 6, b. NY
Edwin (N?), 3, b. MI
Hiram J., 11/12, b. MI
Totally elusive in 1880.
Big possibility from 1900:
Tuscola Co, Indian Fields Twp, Caro Village, 22 June 1900:
TETROW, Frank, b. Feb 1833, 67, b. NY, father: France, mother: NY, NOTE:
married 1 year
Jane? Janet? can only make out Ja__, wife, b. March 1839, 61,
mother of 11 children, 4 living, b. Canada (emmigrated 1840), father:
England, mother: England
Names not totally readable because someone wrote numbers over the names -- I
have seen that TOO MUCH (I would really like to go back in history and slap
around whoever did that). Anyway . . . next name under Frank is
TETROW, Samuel, b. March 1861, 39, b. NY, parents: NY, married 11 years
Hanah, wife, b. Nov(?) 1873, b. MI, father: OH, mother: MI
Blanch E., dau, b. Aug 1898, MI
Samuel may be the Francis S. shown in 1870 -- the date is right.
This seems like a good start on this family to me. Let me know if you need
more help.

Just starting on this line. Seeking census lookup and/or family data of the

Hey all...
The last few days I've been getting hardly any mail from the billion rootsweb lists I subscribe to...Just wondering if it is Rootsweb or our servers?
Concetta
I have temporarily cancelled my Ancestry census membership. Is there
anyone who could possible check the 1920 and 1930 census index for any
Goloversic's and Oravetz's. I don't imagine that there are too many. I
would really appreciate it. Thank you.

I am new to this list. I just want to post a general message about the
above name.
I am interested in talking to any one that may have any knowledge about
a BILL MARSHALL who may have been born in MICHIGAN maybe about the
1870's. He could have come to the SUDBURY/NORTH BAY AREA OF ONTARIO
about 1895. He may have been in some trouble with the law in Michigan.
We have heard a story that the US authorities came to Canada & took him
back sometime between 1910-1920.He may have returned to Canada & died
here, we don't know.
Regards Jim
My great grandparents emigrated from the Orkney Islands in Scotland to
Sterling, Michigan in the 1880s. Since immigrants frequently went to
locations where their friends or relatives had emigrated, I am interested
in making contact from others whose ancestors came from Orkney to Michigan.
I would like to learn what other families might know about their
ancestors' immigration.
My Great Grandparents were James Firth and Jane Harray Firth. James'
sisters also emigrated to Michigan. They were Isabella Firth Norn (who came
in about 1872 when she married James Norn) and Whillamina Firth Wishart who
came in about 1878 after living in Canada for about 8 years).
If your ancestors emigrated from the Orkney Islands to Michigan, drop me a
line with details, such as when them emigrated, why, names, etc.
Sincerely,
Liz Hessel
I know this is an extraordinary longshot, but thought I'd check it out
anyway. My great-grandfather's second wife was Valentyna (unknown maiden
name). He died very soon after marrying her, she died in January 1984.
All his possessions she kept and were supposed to go to my grandfather
when she passed, but did not. I am only interested in old photographs
and letters/documents...what not. The house was evidently supposed to go
to my grandfather, too. I am particularly interested in a picture that
has my great-grandfather and his first wife at their wedding. He is
dressed in a military uniform, she has a beautiful long white dress. It
was taken in Poland sometime between 1917 and 1920. Valentyma had 2
children, Albin Wroblewski and Olga Papciak (from obituary for my
great-grandfather in 1963).
Please, if anyone has any suggestions on where I could begin to search
for what happened to my great-grandfather's memorablia...by the way his
name was Teofil Jackowski. They lived in Hamtramck when he passed in
1963 and she lived there in 1984 when she passed.
Thanks in advance,
Elise

Michael J. Neill: COURSE I
Course I is not really for intended for those completely new to genealogy --we've had long-time researchers in this class. We assume you have a working knowledge of most of the records discussed in our sessions and have used most of them before. Throughout the Part I sessions, the promise and pitfall of each record type is discussed.
Sandra H. Luebking: COURSE II
Course II is recommended for anyone who has mastered basic genealogical record-keeping skills and terminology; is reasonably familiar with common 20th century U.S. local and county sources; can properly abstract and cite a simple will, deed, or census entry; and has worked a minimum of 15 hours each in a genealogical library collection, a family history library or center, and a county court-house. While the focus is hands-on research, internet discussion will be included and the top sites for advanced research will be identified.
Lloyd D. Bockstruck: EASTERN SOURCES
This course will include research sources and techniques covering the Eastern Seaboard; Arrival and Beyond the Tidewater; the New England Colonies: Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay and New Haven, Connecticut River Valley, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont; The Middle Colonies: New York, Pennsylvania, new Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland; The Virginias, The Carolinas, Ohio River Valley; and Tennessee after the Revolutionary War.
Paul Milner BRITISH ISLES RESEARCH
Encompassing the whole of Great Britain, including Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and England, this course will cover each geographic location in a detailed "tour" of their research sources. Included will be immigration from those areas to North America.

We have 3 relatives buried in this cemetery, St. Michael Catholic. I cannot find out anything about who maintains it. It is a Catholic cemetery. Our 3 relatives are August (Gus) Larson, Herman Larson, and Myrtle Larson. We have visited the cemetery and would like to fix up the 3 graves when we return to Michigan. The whole cemetery is in a sad state of repair. Does anyone know about this cemetery? Thanks.
