Angie, Thanks for checking. Herman is Benjamin's son (my GGGrandfather). I do already have that information, though. Cathy

Just possibly it means that he WILL be there, as a highly-respected researcher who recognizes the value of the Library of Michigan even though he's not a resident of Michigan. Along with others doing likewise. How many of us *out there* intend to be there on Wednesday, August 5 to show "the powers that be" that we DO care and are willing to show it publicly? And how many of us have spread the word so that others can show support, too? We should have carloads and busloads and individuals and groups from all over! And how many of us have actually sent letters to the people who will be making the decision about keeping or throwing away such a priceless treasure? Small steps lead to big places...

MIGenWeb Supports Keeping The Library of Michigan Intact We, the members of the Michigan GenWeb project, wish to publicly state that we fully support the efforts of the Michigan Genealogical Council to keep the collections from the Library of Michigan from being separated or otherwise removed under Executive Order 2009-36, which disperses the archives amongst different departments and dissolves the Department of Histories, Arts and Libraries. We do acknowledge the financial crisis currently facing Michigan, however, we feel that the amount of money coming into the state from the number of tourists, visitors, genealogists, researchers and future entrepreneurs visiting the Library of Michigan is a revenue stream for the future of Michigan that the Governor should not shut down. In the words of Dr. William M. Anderson, on December 8, 2005, "I believe culture, broadly defined, is an untapped economic resource. When appropriately engaged, at local, regional, and statewide levels, our state's cultural resources can leverage significant new tax revenue, provide good paying jobs, and create sustainable enterprise. Additionally, Governor Jennifer Granholm stated on March 1, 2006, "We are going to base our economy more and more on our intellectual property, on the creative side, the value-added side of what we can offer.The power of creativity in propelling our economy is a fundamental building block of our state's transformation." The resources that the Library of Michigan holds are the stores of Michigan's intellectual property. Without them, researchers would have nowhere to find: - The largest collection of Michigan newspaper microfilm, which calls the Library of Michigan home. It covers all 83 counties of the state, over 1700 titles spanning more than 400 cities, townships, and villages. A collection of this scope cannot be found anywhere else. - The largest collection of Michigan city directories in the state. These directories document places of residence and occupations of Michiganders throughout the years. Patrons of the Library still use this collection for not only for studying genealogy, but also in planning for the future entrepreneurial enterprises and small businesses. - Ethnic Collections, like the Gorski collection, which focuses on Michigan's Polish Heritage, are not available elsewhere. - The Archives of Michigan holds over 300,000 historical photographs. Particularly important holdings deal with Michigan lumbering, Great Lakes shipping, Michigan mining, urban and rural life styles, and Michigan community scenes. - The collection also covers the entire Great Lakes Region, including New England, the Mid Atlantic, Quebec, and Ontario. Michigan is not in a vacuum. The Governor's Executive order would dissolve this part of the genealogy collection. Finally in the words of the Michigan Genealogical Council: "Innovation and Reinvention' can be done anywhere. Our state's cultural heritage center belongs together, in the Michigan Historical Center."

Michigan census data confirms a New York birth. He came to Michigan via Huron County, Ohio (where my GGGrandfather Herman was born according to his Civil War enlistment papers) and Wood County, Ohio, where his first wife (my ggggrandmother) died, as did one of his sons. He remarried while in Wood County. The second wife is buried with him in Michigan (although his name is also listed on my ggggrandmother's tombstone). Here's my issue. I BELIEVE (note the verb -- I have no proof) that his parents were Abraham Sneden (alt s pelling Sneeden) Jr. & his wife Catherine. I can't find them in the Ohio census records or the New York census records. I don't know when they might have arrived in Ohio. There are family trees on line which indicate that they died in Ohio in approximately 1846 (not necessarily Wood County). I can't find death records on them. I'm a member of both the Wood County and Lorain County branches of the Ohio Genealogical Society but haven't been able to find anything helpful on this subject via that route. Does anybody have anything to suggest on what to try next? I live in Hawaii, so solutions requiring personal visits to locations will not work well.

Hi Laura, He was born in 1796 (according to his tombstone). He died in December 1862. Unfortunately, I do not have a death record (which would certainly help!) since Michigan did not require death records be kept until several years after that point. I have a similar problem with the birth of his grandson, who is my GGrandfather - he was born before birth certificates were required (at least I have HIS death certificate). I've tried the state and county (just in case) and am a member of Ancestry.com, but have been unable to find a definite link to Abraham Sneden Jr. or any death info on Abraham or Catherine other than in posted (unsourced) family trees.

Michigan census data confirms a New York birth. He came to Michigan via Huron County, Ohio (where my GGGrandfather Herman was born according to his Civil War enlistment papers) and Wood County, Ohio, where his first wife (my ggggrandmother) died, as did one of his sons. He remarried while in Wood County. The second wife is buried with him in Michigan (although his name is also listed on my ggggrandmother's tombstone). Here's my issue. I BELIEVE (note the verb -- I have no proof) that his parents were Abraham Sneden (alt spelling Sneeden) Jr. & his wife Catherine. I can't find them in the Ohio census records or the New York census records. I don't know when they might have arrived in Ohio. There are family trees on line which indicate that they died in Ohio in approximately 1846 (not necessarily Wood County). I can't find death records on them. I'm a member of both the Wood County and Lorain County branches of the Ohio Genealogical Society but haven't been able to find anything helpful on this subject via that route. Does anybody have anything to suggest on what to try next? I live in Hawaii, so solutions requiring personal visits to locations will not work well.
