Hi, I'm hoping someone maybe able to help me, I have a Arthur Bonner who had his 1st papers and 2nd, sent to the MI. State Archives and they couldn't find his 2nd papers, he wasn't on the page they listed in there index on line, Hoping someone who lives in Travers City could go to the court house there to check and see if they have anything on him. Also another family member Charles Linstrum is also suppose to have papers at that court house, if I can find out if there are anymore info the the 2 listed above then maybe I can send in a reqiest for the info they have on them. Sue

Carolyn, I know this is way beyond when you posted this, but is this from the Orient 1916, and did you post the Juniors and Freshman???? If so, could you resend to me so I can put in the following URL: http://www.mifamilyhistory.org/bay/1916orient.htm "So, keep on keeping on living the life which your inner voice directs, kindly, lovingly: giving help wherever you can, giving love and sustenance to this great work of illuminating all life....

Concetta, Thanks again. I'm not sure I can swing the $31.50 right now being Christmas and all. I know that Elsie IS buried there because I have her funeral card. Maybe contacting the P I County Clerk's ofc will yield me more info... Thanks for the lead. Donna

Hi all. Does anyone know where the cemetery records are kept for the Riverside Cemetery located in Millersburg, Presque Isle County, MI? I'm looking for information on my GGG uncle: GETTY, Herbert H. (s/o John & Rebecca GETTY) Died in 1961 GETTY, Elsie (nee BRACKINREED) (w/o Herbert GETTY) Died October 9, 1949 Does anyone have a cemetery book on this? I'm also looking for Harry SORGATT and wife Erma (GETTY) SORGATT. Thanks for any tidbit... Donna

Donna, The information I found is basically quoted as such: "If you know the date of death, contact the Presque isle County Clerk, 151 E. Huron, Rogers City, MI 49779 pr phone 989 734 3288. Ask about a death certificate for genealogical purposes." But since you don't know the date, that won't help you. Here's something more helpful: "Riverside (Millersburg) Cenetery. It costs $31.50 and can be purchased through Eunice K. Pines, 635 Sheridan Road, Traverse City, MI 49686-1961." Good Luck! Concetta --- "D.C." <kinshipmatters@twmi.rr.com> wrote: > Hi all.

Hi. Can someone explain to me what I'm looking at when using AncestryPlus, I find someone on the 1860 Census, and then I find them in the category "Database: Michigan Census, 1827-70"? What is the difference between the two? Under record type it says Federal Population Schedule, then, Database: MI 1860 Federal Census Index. Thanks for any insight. Donna

MY GRANDMOTHER HATTIE ASHLEY WAS BORN A TWIN ON 11-22-1880 TO AMOS EUGENE ASHLEY AND JENNY ASHLEY. At some point in time someone found their census record. I have looked in Ancestry Com so many times and cannot locate it. Is there anything local that would have them listed?

Bob, This is an equally long shot but it might be just what you need. Contact Susan Warner in Saginaw County for her advice. She can find just about any needle in a proverbial haystack. She does genealogy coordination at the Hoyt Library but I'm sure you can contract with her for external services. If you have to drop a couple of bucks it will be well invested in your research.
