    1. Bay City History Request
    2. Martin, Joseph
    3. My Polish ancestors, Ignace SCHULTZ and Apolonia LEWICKA, were married at St.Stanislaus Church in Bay City in 1893. They raised their family there, and some descendents still live there. I am writing a history of the family, and I am looking for any historical books or articles about Bay City or its Polish neighborhood. So far I have found these resources most helpful. Books "The Bay County Story: Memoirs of the County's 125 Years." Leslie E. Arndt. (Linwood, Michigan: L. Arndt, Harlo Printing, 1982). "Michigan Lumbertowns: Lumbermen and Laborers in Saginaw, Bay City, and Muskegon, 1870-1905." Jeremy W. Kilar. (Wayne State Un. Press: Detroit, 1990). Articles "Polanders in Bay City, 1879." Raymond J. Herek. The Eaglet. (Polish Genealogical Society of Michigan: Detroit), Vol. 4, No. 1, 1984. "Catholic Education Comes to the Saginaw Valley." Timothy Pies. Michigan History. (Michigan Dept. of State: Lansing) Vol. 74, No. 1, January 1990. Does anyone know of other valuable books and articles? Please do not send web sites. Thank you for your attention to this request.
