Surnames: Newman, Norman,Sullivan Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IGB.2ACI/591.1.1 Message Board Post: First of all thank you so much for the information on this couple. Did you happen to see if there was a son that had passed away? His name was William Henry Newman born about 1852 in New Jersey as well. James and Mahala also had 6 daughters and I know they are hard to trace but just in case if you wouldn't mind another challenge. The daughters are in order of birth, Phebe J 1847 NJ; Ellen C 1848 NJ; Hannah O 1849 NJ; Margaret E 1854 Mich; Frances M 1856 Mich; Martha A 1858 Mich. Thanks in advance. There was only 1 Phebe listed in the 1870 census for Lapeer Co and she was married to a John Sullivan. They had 1 boy at the time. His name was John born about 1867. They were found again in the 1880 census for the same county and they had 2 more boys, Floyd 1873 and Hugh born 1875. Maybe they will list her parents in the death index to find out who they were. This was the only girl I found of the Newman girls. Linda

They were in Almont, Lapeer County which is south of Macomb County.

We are pleased and excited to announce the following to our Genealogy Community: AN ALL NEW ROOTSWEB HOSTED WEBSITE WHICH WILL PROVIDE FREE ACCESS TO EVERY CEMETERY IN KALAMAZOO COUNTY, MICHIGAN! Our objective is to provide indexes of burials as well as photos and transcription records of all gravestones in Kalamazoo County. We are certain this site will become one of the premiere cemetery sites on the Internet! The project is being provided in the best interest of the Genealogy Community by a team of volunteers. We currently have collected data for over 60,000 burials in Kalamazoo County, and that data is in various stages of computerization.  As each of the cemeteries is completed, it will be added to our new site where it can be freely accessed by all. Our site is now available at the URL below.  Keep in mind, we are just beginning and we will continuously add each and every cemetery as we complete them.  In addition, cemeteries that have been completed will be updated yearly with any new burials during the year.  Our site is hosted by Rootsweb and will soon be highlighted by Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter. In addition to indexing burials we will have complete stone transcriptions, cemetery maps, cemetery photos, grave photos, printable township reports, printable cemetery reports and much more.  We also have an e-mail list for those who wish to be notified as the site is updated.  Please visit often. Please visit us at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mikalam2/
