Surnames: Faulkner Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.michigan.counties.kent/5652.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello: I'm in search of any information I can find to work on my family genealogy. I found your name through Roots web that directed me to you through Ancestry. My Great Grandfather Young married Lucinda Faulkner, making Harrison Faulkner my Great Great Grandfather. If you are interested in sharing information please let me know. Thank You, Grandpama89

Message #3 You can find the text for Albert Baxter's 1891 History of the City of Grand Rapids on the Kent County GenWeb site. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mikent This is the main page, right after Resources, you will see the histories listed, click on Baxter's and there are all of the chapters of the book that have been transcribed. You will need to check the index to decide which chapter holds the pages you are interested in. As for Goss', you can go to the same URL and click on books and you will find the information to go to the University of Michigan which has both the Baxter's, Goss' and other early Michigan county histories. When you get to the site, click on the button that says Search/or Browse County Histories, then choose Authors, type in the authors name, and the books that the author has done will come up. You can click on the book you want, then find the pages you are interested in. If you want to, you can print the pages you want so that you have a copy of the page. Is this plain enough? Sometimes it's hard to explain things when a person hasn't done them.

More questions I went to the usgenweb site and found death dates in the cemetery listing for Frances Armstrong Rutherford who died May 21, 1922 Harriet Rutherford Putman who died September 18, 1907. I figured a chance to find out who their parents were was to order a death cert. I spoke to a woman in the Kent clerk office who told me to go to www.accesskent.com There is a searchable index there and neither one of these women is in the data base. Can anyone suggest a new plan of attack? TY Nana

Evelyn, Thank you for posting this. As I recall you helped me another time. I am always very happy when an ancestor of mine lands in MI as the help and records are outstanding.

Surnames: Fuller, Jacobs, Flewelling, Wallen, Keeney Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.michigan.counties.kent/8185/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Does anyone out there know an Yvonne Wallen or a man named Jacobs (likely first names Ralph or Richard) or a man named Flewelling who were related to Cecile Fuller Jacobs. Cecile died in 1996, leaving one grandson and one niece. They are the last, that I know of, of my great great Aunt Polly Keeney Fuller's line. I'm currently putting together a history of the Keeney family in Grand Rapids, and would love to find those two. Thought I'd try this method before sending letters out to all the people of these names in Kent County. Any help or clues greatly appreciated. Karyl Keeney Hubbard.
