I am helping a friend search for his family roots and he has discovered that his father was a part of the "Michigan Mafia." This father was involved in a bank robbery where a police officer was subsequently killed and the father served time in prison. Now my friend wants to find out all he can about this incident and possibly get records from the prison (he wants any inf. that will help him understand who his father REALLY was). We are not sure of the date but it was somewhere around 1935-1940. Can someone tell me where to begin searching for any info?? I am in Alabama, so not a lot of resources for MI. How would I go about finding the newspaper articles,etc.? Any assistance appreciated. Anna alangley@hiwaay.net
