This is a reply for June Rupp. I emailed separately but do not know if you received the information so I will post to the list. I do not have access to census images but while at the public library I did a quick look at the 1880 census found your Gentleman family living in New Jersey, It does appear that they were in Michigan during the 1870's. 1880 census; Ocean,Monmouth, New Jersey P.F. Gentleman; age 35 b: 1845 Scotland, Occupation: Gardner Maggie Gentleman; age 30 b: 1850 Scotland Alice Gentleman age 10; b: Nova Scotia Jennie Gentleman; age 07, b: MI Maggie Gentleman; age 05, b: MI Clara Gentleman; age 03, b: NJ I hope this helps.

Someone asked if the newspapers being scanned would have to be viewed through a subscription program. The answer is no no no no no. I have found some use in those services like viewing census records but I fully believe in FREE and sharing with everyone! I was, and still may, put them on Rootsweb. When I found the Making of Modern Michigan project, part of the project is that they will do the web hosting. When the first ones go on line, I will let everyone know where to find them!

The Berrien County Genealogy Project is growing! I just uploaded the Spring Run Cemetery, Royalton Twp., Berrien Co., MI http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mi/county/berrien/cemlist.htm scroll down the alphabetical index of Berrien's cemeteries to Spring Run. Browse along the way! Additionally, I am very pleased with the hits on this web site. Since joining AHGP and ALHN March 4th, I added the new counter set for that date, there has been near 500 hits in 5 days. Quite an improvement!! from the sandy shores of lake Michigan Brenda R.

In a previous posting to this list by the State Coordinator of the MIGenWeb, she stated that my genealogy pages were moved to a different site (in particular, the one for Branch County, MI) - - the actual truth of the matter is that they have *not* been moved, they are on the same site/server where they have always been on all these years and they will always be there for you, the researcher! I'm of the opinion that the pages and content are no longer safe from commercial entities while associated with GenWeb, but are as safe as is possible with the ALHN and AHGP organizations, therefore I have disassociated them from the MIGenWeb group. Once again, the entry address to all 10 of my Michigan counties is: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/5666/index.html Thank You, and Good Hunting!!

For any researchers that may be interested, I have 10 counties for genealogical research online. They are as follows: Alcona Alger Branch Chippewa Crawford Dickinson Iron Manistee Marquette Oscoda The entry address to any of these counties is: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/5666/index.html Enjoy, and Good Hunting.....

As any of you may have seen lately many many people are bailing on what once was a great project BEFORE the self ruling advisory board nominated themselves to sainthood and crushed all those of us who put the data on line JUST to help the researchers! MIGenWeb has gone down the toilet, getting worse each year for the last 4, so I pulled Livingston and I was the first county chosen in MIGenWeb so it REALLY hurt when the state coordinator FORCED me out by ridicules lies etc. If you want to read the whole story, go to www.LivGenMI.com I fear as the rules get more oppressive, many will leave. Sadly because of all the fake p.r. out there by the corporate entity that now owns all of Rootsweb and USGenWeb and hosts it only for the millions that it brings in by people clicking on their pay per view sites advertised all over every page. The billions it makes by this more than covers the bandwidth of the remaining old gen project. People do not really understand what is happening and know about the GREAT sites like www.ahgp.org, www.ALHN.org, my MARDOS Memorial Library at www.MemorialLibrary.com and of course our server of choice www.USGenNet.org the first & ONLY 501(c)(3) host for genealogical & historical sites.
