Looking for any info on family who built house.

I will do lookups when I go to the Grand Rapids Public Library. I only ask for your patience - because I sometimes get there nearly everyday and sometimes it takes a couple of weeks to get there. I don't even mind making a photo copy now and then and mailing it out. I also find it helps with date of death, or as near as you can get, and if not, sometimes it helps to get the name of the cemetery the person is buried in - if you know it. Other family names-spouse or married children sometimes help as does area where they may have lived in this city or county. There are some alphabetically indexed obits on file and there are some newspaper indexes for obits. Not all of the obits are indexed though. Pam
