Hi, Could I ask someone who will be going to the library in the near future, to look for three marriage records? I believe they all took place in Grass Lake. I'm looking for: 1. George Campbell and Cora L. Seikell who married in 1895. 2. William Campbell and Minnie E. ? who married in 1894. 3. Mary P. Campbell who married _?Lee in 1906. What I'm particularly interested in is their parent's names. I'm trying to tie together a family who migrated from Canada. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks, ~Michelle

May have originally been from Mass. or NY. I am working on the possibility that they are the parents of my gr-gr-grandmother, Margery Wright Murray who lived in Jackson County for many years, but was born in 1810 in Mass or NY (depending on which record you look at). In the 1840-1850 approx time period, Frederick and Sophia were listed living near Margery and family. Margery had a daughter, Sophia. They are all buried in Wright Cemetery, Jackson County. Just posting this in the hopes something might sound familiar to someone!!

Hi, Could someone who has access to the 1900, census index look for Henry F. Campbell b. 1844 in Canada. Married to Mary b. 1850 in Canada. They should have a daughter living with them, Emma, b. 1884 in MI, and son Thomas R. b. 1883, MI. I suspect that they're living in Jackson City, MI, but there's to many districts for me to go line by line. I'd really appreciate it, thanks! ~Michelle
