After a while, you just get way to much info for paper. I have added a link for you on my web site on where to go to get it. Go to the TOOLS page and you will see the link to the software. I don't use it because I was already set up years ago before I knew about it but if you are just starting out or don't like the software you have, it would be great! Again, it's free!

I'm sorry for sending that last post without any explanation. Most of you probably know that Oceana Co. is just to the north of Muskegon County. This item, a CD, may be of interest to somebody.

Does anyone have an indexed version of the above ? Please contact me directly.

If you do check the Museum in Ravenna, it has a lot of information, but very limited hours. You will probably have to call for an appointment. You can get the phone number from the Ravenna branch of the Muskegon County Library. Jim McElfish

I am trying to determine if a marriage of Alex Gabriel occurred in the county between 1900 and 1910. Help please! Wife's name unknown..
