I would like to invite you to visit my new website called The POORHOUSE STORY (which is a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses) at http://www.poorhousestory.com We just added some poorhouse information to our MICHIGAN page. This includes links to information about the St. Joseph County Infirmary Cemetery and the list of residents of the poorhouse from the 1920 Census for Grand Traverse County. For those who have not visited The POORHOUSE STORY before, DIRECTIONS: once you are at the homepage, click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then click on OTHER STATES, then click on MICHIGAN when you get to the table of states. You may also enjoy some other links off the homepage; these might include HISTORY (of the poorhouse system) and LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS We depend largely upon the submissions and tips of readers to help us increase the amount of information on this website. Let's see the information for MICHIGAN and your county increase soon! Hope you enjoy the site! Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)
