We would like to invite you to revisit The POORHOUSE STORY (a clearinghouse
for information about 19th century American poorhouses)at
http://www.poorhousestory.com
Our latest posting to the MICHIGAN page is an old picture postcard of the
County Farm in Bellaire in ATRIM County.
However, we have posted quite a bit of other information on the page since
last writing to this list!
If you have visited the site recently, you may need to click REFRESH on your
browser to see the new material.
DIRECTIONS:
At the homepage (link above)please click on POORHOUSES BY STATE and then
click on MICHIGAN on the table of states.
Near the top you will see some picture, and the new one is marked with the
big yellow NEW arrow.
There are some other pages on the site which may help you better understand
poorhouses. They are all linked (to the left)off the homepage and include:
HISTORY, LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS, and FEATURED ARTICLES. You may want to also
review the ARCHIVED NEWSLETTERS to get an overview of what has been posted
on the website and what some of our issues have been.
The only way the material on the website will grow is through the
suggestions and submissions of kind readers like you!
So if you would like to e-mail me, PLEASE do so OFF-list using an e-mail
link from our website. (I cannot maintain subscriptions to all the lists to
which we make announcements.)
Hope you enjoy the site!
