Hello,
Does any one have access to the indexes for 1860 and1870 Michigan census? I'd appreciate a look-up for James and Delsie Smith. Hopefully they have at least one son named Albert.
They were Kent Co. Algoma township. in the 1880 census. It is very difficult researching the surname Smith!
Thanks,
Joy
Hi listers:
If possible, could SKS look up a birth registration for the following person
(my father) as I can't obtain a birth certificate for another 3 years which
will be the required 110 years after the date of birth.... sigh ..
Oliver Joseph GAGNIER, b. Sault Ste. Marie, MI, January 13, 1896
Parents: John Joseph Gagnier and Anna Cecilia McGrath
Thanks for your time and your help.

Hello everyone;
I am looking for any decendents of Zenas Ross who married
Rachel
Wright-Holcomb from CT & VT, was a British solder in the KRRNY during the
Revolution. They migrated to Canada after the revolution. Several of his
decendents migrated back to Michigan. I was in Owosso last summer and
photographed
several gravestones of relitaves at Oak Hill Cemetery and was given a copy
of their
newspaper dated April 1, 2000 to which they had rwe-run the original front
page of
April 1, 1900. This was the anneversery of the Central School Fire where
Fred Ross
(a fire fighter)lost his life. I was told by a cousin here in Ontario that
there
was a "ROSS REUNION" last summer but I was not aware of this. I request
anyone
who was involved in the reunion, PLEASE email me or snail mail to:
Charles G.J.Ross UE
657 Rogers St.,
Peterborough, ON.
K9H 1Y1
(705) 742-6316
I am composing a book on Zenas Ross et'al and would like to update the
Michigan
connection which has not been touched since 1933
loyally,
Chuck
Hi All,
I have a very formidable brick wall here. Maybe someone can help me.
As per the 1870 census my g-grandfather was born at sea. Being that it says his parents are from Germany, I'm assuming that they were sailing from there.
George Esler b. @1847 at sea
I'm also assuming that he came in through NY, since his wife Malinda was born there as well as their first child, and the 1880 census says he was born there.
I have thoroughly searched the 1850 and 1860 NY and MI(were he was in the 1870 census) with no luck. I've been going through the passenger lists for 1947. I almost done. Knowing my luck it'll be the wrong year.
I am at a complete loss. Any help and/or ideas are very appreciated

Hello
I have a 5x7 photograph of three women and three children
sitting on the porch of a grand three story home in Detroit, Michigan.
Photo appears to be turn-of-the-century or later.
Names on back of photo are: Lillie Heller, Evelyn Heller, Carrie Mette,
Vera Warner, Ruth Mette and June Erwin. I'd like to get this back to
a descendant.

I am proud to announce that the Family Group Sheet Project for Michigan is
now online and ready for submissions to be put online for researchers.
Family Group Sheets are collected by many societies and are a good way to
exchange data with other researchers and develop leads for your own
research. There are forms set up to collect your data and send it to the
file manager for uploading to the site. If you have any questions please
contact me.
Links to county sites that have collected family group sheets have been
provided. If you know of any more to link to please let me know.
The USGenWeb Project has acknowledged The Family Group Sheet Project as a
potential Special Project with a final determination to be made in December
