To John Long None of your Mitchell's rings a bell. My Mitchell's were from Oldham, England. They lived in Detroit and Brighton, Michigan. So far I've found my grandfather James b.1880 and his brother William b.1883. were the only one's to emigrate England for the U.S. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of JOHN LONG Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2007 10:56 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Carol Spragg Subject: Re: [MI-GENEALOGY] SURNAME INTERESTS FOR WAYNE AND OAKLAND COUNTIES To Lance Mitchell…This is just a shot in the dark…but…… I'm interested in…what I think are…two different branches of my family tree coming under the Mitchell name. Or there may be a connection. That's what I am trying to find out…and you may know. Do you know of a James Mitchell, b. 16 Oct 1920 in Herman Keifer Hosp, Flint, Genesee Co, MI. In 1922 his family, which I have been told was very large, moved to Detroit, Wayne Co, MI…where his father died in 1929 of Cancer. I find no record of this large family in Detroit in the 1930 census…which seems strange to me. James, I am told, married a girl from Boston, MA about 1950 and "had a couple of kids." James had about 12 siblings. James may have d. in Dec 1967. Also, a Harry Augustus Mitchell, b. 13 May 1884 in Reeder Twp, Missaukee Co, MI married my aunt, Margaret Maude Long in circa 1900/02. He d. Nov 1970 in Brooklyn, Jackson Co, MI. I've been told they "lived most there lives" in the Flint area. I am supposed to have a lot of 1st cousins. Would like to find out who they are before I become an ancestor. Do either of these ancestors fall within your realm of genealogy? ***************************** The theme of this list is Michigan genealogy and research.
