The Saginaw MIGenWeb site is being redone. There are new volunteers
who have come onboard recently. We would like to thank Cary and
Lesly for the past work they have done in collecting data.
The site is graphically new plus contains new files and links for
people researching Saginaw ancestors.
The new main page is at:
http://www.mifamilyhistory.org/saginaw/
The last site is at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~misagina/ and will be integrated into the
new site. Cary and Lesly are working with us to get the site
transferred on Rootsweb and when that is complete you will be able
to go to either of the addresses to surf through the files for
Saginaw.
I have made sure that Carolyn's Photos for Saginaw have been
included where needed so you can get to her files easily when they
pertain. She has taken such a big project it can't be ignored as it
is very important to researchers.

The new base pages are up along with data that we have put up so far
and there are new things that will be added in over time.
Some of the things we hope to include are:
Early yearbooks from the schools around Saginaw. If you have any
that can be included please consider letting us copy by scanning or
scanning the pages for the site.
I hope to get some early school records for Chapin later this week,
more on that if they are what I think they are.
We would like to put up a searchable nane index to the wonderful
images of the 1877 Plat Maps. Carolyn has part of the index scanned
so we are looking for volunteers to take a page and type them up, to
be put into a database on the site.
Any of the censuses, vitals, tax lists, mortality schedules can be
indexed and put onsite.
I am hoping to work at a way that people who have a web page for
their Saginaw family online can include it on the site and control
it. Along with other types of submissions. The coding will take a
couple of weeks for it.
If anyone wants to help with a set of files or coordinate getting
files online for a group of records, please write to
