Thank you for those Michigan marriage and death URLs. Found my husbands grandparents , The NYC list info remains in my memory as somehow attached to all forms of entertainment--circus ,as well as vaudeville, stage, early movies and somehow attached to and maintained by the present day Actor's Union {maybe}...I mispoke when I said museum....I know there is some retirement place for circus people on the WEST coast of Florida...I've seen it and there was a piece done by some TV show about it. I can only suggest you try the NYC list.....seems everone eventually gets there if their folks came thru that port...no matter the year.... Florence
