Hi, There were many sawmills in Menominee, Birch Creek, Stephenson, Daggett. This was lumber country at that time. Have you checked the 1860 or 1880 census. Also, there are none of those existing sawmills today (that I know of). However, the Allgeyers in Birch Creek area are still there. E-mail me privately and I'll send you the addresses. Perhaps they are decendents and may be able to tell you more.

The reason I ask is my grandmother wrote in a family history book that her grandpa came to America with a family by the last name of Allgeyer. Supposedly they owned a sawmill... but her notes don't say where in America they owned this business. Since he (my great, great grandpa) & his wife had their first child in Birch Creek, MI and one of their middle children in Grand Rapids, MI & their last child in Daggett, I was wondering if the sawmill would be located in or around those areas. I realize that Birch Creek & Grand Rapids aren't in your county, but I'm desperate for any help I can get! > > Also, how would I go about finding out who owned the sawmill? > > Thanks for your help!! > Cammie Jordan > > > ==== MIMENOMI Mailing List ==== > To unsubscribe from the list send your message to <MIMENOMI-L-request@rootsweb.com> for individual list messages; <MIMENOMI-D-request@rootsweb.com> for digest messages.
