Larger villages, cities and towns have rather extensive descriptions, including historical mentions, current industry, religious affiliations, etc. The set has been reprinted, and is also available in microfilm and microfiche, although of course hard copy is always easier to read. The explanation of abbreviation appears only in volume one. I've been working on a translation of the abbreviations to be posted via FEEFHS, but who knows when I'll get a chance to finish it. To find a location, ask your friendly reference librarian to look it up on OCLC. Mary, in your case, there are three locations in Michigan: Wayne State University Library Detroit Public Library Madonna University Library, Livonia Hope this helps.
