Hi, I found on a New York website a link to a roster from 1891 of New York Soldiers of the Civil War living in Michigan. Anyhow it listed my Amos Pierce living in Fountain, Michigan. I was surprised he wasn't in Onekama or Manistee. Could someone please tell me just where the heck this place is? That is FOUNTAIN, MI. Thanks Aleigh

Hi Garry, I wish I could say yes there is a connection, but no I have not run across any of those names. It is possible that my Franz had a brother and they are his children/grandchildren.

Thanks for all who are trying to help me on those naturalization papers. According to the Library of Michigan, they are at the county court office in Manistee. Kyle

The Archives of MI have many and are available by e-mailing archives@sos.state.mi.us. Phyllis

Hi Kyle, At the Manistee county court house is where we found my relative who was naturalized in 1872. You could also try the local Historical Museum which has a wealth of information and records.

Most of his family kept the Szprejda name and didn't change it to Sprader. Those that changed their name in Wisc. usually spelled it Sprada. No, I haven't been able to find the actual town in Poznan that the family was from.

COUNTDOWN TO ELLIS ISLAND OPENING ===================================================================== On 17 April, The American Family Immigration History Center will open on Ellis Island, to great fanfare. Genealogists all over will be logging in to search the newly created database of passenger arrival records of 17 million people who immigrated through the port of New York from 1892-1924. Ellis Island stands as one of the most prominent and recognized symbols of American immigration, with around 5,000 visitors a day walking through the same halls that many of our ancestors passed through so many years ago. To celebrate this historic opening, Ancestry.com will be featuring articles and Web pages to help you locate your immigrant ancestors. Look for articles to help you get the most from passenger arrival records, and take you beyond Ellis Island to follow up with other resources. For those who are unable to locate their ancestors in passenger arrival records, we will look at alternative sources. Stay tuned for all the latest information on the events planned. For more information, see the Immigration History Center page at: http://www.ellisislandrecords.org
