The database consists of the pension number, full name of the pensioner, city of residence, cause for which the pension was issued, amount of pension and date on which the pension was issued. Pensioners include widows, minor children, and survivors of the War of 1812 among others. This valuable database contains nearly 12,000 individuals who were receiving pensions in 1883. The database is searchable by surname and also by county. The URL for the database is: http://www.mifamilyhistory.org/civilwar/1883Pension/index.asp The 1894 Veterans Census is also online at: http://www.mifamilyhistory.org/civilwar/1894VetsCensus/index.asp Donna Hoff-Grambau for the Michigan Family History Network http://www.mifamilyhistory.org

Hello, Just found this list and hope that someone out there might just be related or maybe able to help with this family. My Great Great Great Grandfather Stephen A. Warner according to the 1880 census was a Lighthouse Keeper. After further searching I also found out that his wife and one of his sons were assistants to the keeper. The lighthouse was St. Clair Flats S. Canal Range Light. A list that I was sent shows other Warners working from time to time at the same lighthouse. Those names were George E. (whom Stephen replaced him after he died in 1869 according to the National Archives), Edward Warner, & Willis Warner. I am thinking that these people were all related. I would love to find out more on these people and would love to see an obituary for George E. Warner who died sometime around Feb. 25, 1869. (since that is the day that they said his commission ended due to death and Stephen replaced him on this same day) Also, in the census it states that his parents were born in New York and that Stephen was born in Michigan. I do not know who his parents were nor do I know if he had siblings. I am posting what I know at this time on Stephen's family. Hope someone out there recognizes these family or possible lives in that area and could look up some obits for me. Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi list people, Just thinking, if anyone else has any digital pictures they would like of tombstones, I wouldn't mind hunting around the Romeo cemetery for them also (let me know before this weekend please). I have relatives at the Almont and Dryden (Lapeer County) cemeteries and live close to the Utica (Macomb County) cemetery so just let me know if I can be of any help there in the future. Karen

Hi Jean, I'm only about 15 minutes from the Romeo Cemetery and I have an inexpensive digital camera. If you like I could go up and take some pix and send them to you as jpg's. You can email me if you like. Be glad to help. Karen

Although I now live in Kansas, I was born and raised in Macomb county. I would like to know how to obtain the obituaries for my great grandparents. Henry Henning and Sophia Hinz emigrated from Mecklenburg (Germany) to Macomb county in 1852 and farmed in Erin township from the mid 1850s until their deaths early in the 20th century. Sophia died November 30, 1902, and Henry died June 30, 1909. They are buried in Erin Grove cemetery. I would appreciate suggestions on how I should go about finding their obituaries. Dave Kromm
