This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

This has been an hectic summer. I can't see that our Michael's are connected. My Patrick (or Michael as he is sometimes listed) settled in Lansing MI when my great grandfather, Michael was about 8 year old. He was, at that time, married to Agnes Mary Meshaw although rumor has it that she was a second wife. Some of your children's names fit, but most do not. Michael, John Francis, Cornelius, Alexander, Mary and Ellen. Second generation Michael's children were John, Franklin, Alexander, Mary Agnes, and Curtis. If you can put them together, it would be great. My personal email is [email protected] and I will be traveling to Lansing Michigan on 21 Aug 2002 if there is anything I can do for you at the Historical Library there, let me know specifics. PKG
