    1. TOWN OF SHERIDAN - Historical Society or Library ? BABCOCK Family
    2. Mike Gillmore

    3. Hello List, I am planning a trip to Michigan for follow up research on my ancestors who resided in the Town of Sheridan from approx 1845 - 1856. Can anyone tell me if there is a Historical Society or local library in this area, or if the town still exists ? I am researching the BABCOCK family - Benjamin & Lydia. I have found them on the 1850 Federal Census. Does anyone have access to the Michigan Census records in the off years between 1845 - 1856 ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Mike Gillmore

    3. Hi Mike - There isn't a town of Sheridan, rather it is a township. The closest community would be Albion. There is Albion Historical Society and the Calhoun County Genealogical Society. Your first stop should be http://www.rootsweb.com/~micalhou Be sure to check all the resources on the left hand navigation bar. There are two search engines on the home page, too. Albion Library has a very nice local history room, but check their hours first. Willard Public Library in Battle Creek has an even larger collection, housed at their Helen Warner Branch. There is also an LDS Family History Center in Battle Creek. You'll find information on all of these organizations at http://www.rootsweb.com/~micalhou Willard Library might have the State Census - I'm not sure. There is probably a copy at the State Library in Lansing. Happy researching!
