We have added another resource for Michigan researchers to the website!
Unique to say the least in it's content.
Skeletons in Michigan's Closets

PRISONERS IN MICHIGAN STATE PRISONS FROM 1847-1885 WITH LIFE SENTENCES
Links are at the bottom of the page to help people find sources on the
subject.
We hope to add to this database as time goes on and one of us or a future
volunteer gets to the state archives to do so. If there is anyone who has
an interest and wants to help with the database please get in touch with the
webmaster for details. A person who is close to Lansing, MI and the records
and/or a typist to enter the data is welcomed. Any news articles about the
event that people might have could be added in the future, also.
If you find someone that you needed in your research let us know. We like
hearing good news.
