I am trying to locate Joseph Brown who resided in Mi. around the 1830's I believe it was in Jackson or Calhoun counties. At the time they had one son that I mknow of who was Elijah Barton Brown. If any one has any ideas I would be glad to hear from you. Thanks Ken Brown

Looking for Lydia Wells age around 20. She may be daughter of George Wells which appears on page 22 of Dryden Twp, Lapeer County. Thanks Jerri Eldridge

Does anyone know the whereabouts of the Harbin's Funeral Home in Novi? My relative's funeral arrangements were handled by this funeral home in 1965. I can't find the funeral home now. Did they change names/ownership? I would like to obtain copies of my great uncle's funeral records. Thanks. Donna

Thank you, Robert, Clara was my great-granny's sister. Very much appreciated! Elise in WA

Good Evening Robert Whenever you next go that would be fine - there is no rush - since we have no immediate plans to go back to Michigan, I certainly appreciate the offer.

Eileen, Do you have or can you send for the funeral home records? This might give more clues if available. Just a thought... Donna

Hi Robert I so thank you for your efforts but all I have on Josephine Settlemier is taken from her death certificate. Her date of death was October 10 1927 - She died at St Mary's Hospital - she was living on Desoto Street in Detroit, Wayne County. That she died from injuries resulting from a fall. She was buried at Parkview Memorial on October 13, 1927. I am not sure the above information is enough for you to look more - but I am again appreciative of your efforts.

There is Otsego and Oswego...Very hard to track down who you're looking for at times...I also found Oswego in Illinois...

I was confused! So, if it says on the Census that they came from Otsego, New York they came from there and not Oswego, New York. And if the burial says Oswego, NY, then it is not Otsego! And my tin ear was hearing Oswego, Michigan but it was Otsego, Michigan. Thank you so much. Even my wonderful Alma, Michigan born husband had it wrong. Linda Swaney Sabin in OHIO

Could someone explain Otsego and Oswego to us. My husband's Sabin line came from and some returned to Oswego, New York, via Fulton Co. OH. We found the city of Oswego, NY on the map along the migration trail to Buffalo and over via the lakes. Otsego is south and a dot on the map in New York. It is also on the Census as one of the places that they lived in 1800. I was thinking that the name was changed but now realize that Otsego is also in Michigan?? Confused in Ohio. . . Linda Swaney Sabin in Greene Co. OHIO

Linda, Many places in Michigan are named after places in New York. Why? Many of the people in Michigan originally came from that area. Hence Rochester, MI and Rochester, NY, etc. It seems as if you have Otsego and Oswego, NY down pat, so I'll tackle the others. We have a few Otsegos in Michigan: Otsego County (way up near the top of the lower peninsula) Otsego Lake (in Otsego County) Otsego, MI in Allegan County (near the west side of the state, about midway) But we don't have an Oswego. There are many other states that do, however, just look up Oswego in the Rootsweb Town Search (http://resources.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/townco.cgi) In fact, there are more than a few Otsegos as well. But I am a bit mystified as to your query. Are you confused as to which Otsego/Oswego and what state your ancestors ended up in? Otherwise, I should think a query to the NY-GENEALOGY list might help you more. Just a few thoughts. Concetta --- wrote: > Could someone explain Otsego and Oswego to us.
