A new Memorials (obits of a sort) dataset has been added to Michigan Family History Network. Being raised in Saginaw it was the county I chose to do first from the books I have. The Pioneer Memorials for Saginaw from the 1881, 1884, 1885 and 1891 Michigan Pioneer and Historical Collection have been put online. http://www.mifamilyhistory.org/memorials/default.asp It is best to do a search through these as many contain names of siblings, daughters and sons, business partners, and parents.

You may want to try this link for obituaries: http://www.mlive.com/obits/ It will find obituaries for many Michigan cities, although the database does not go back very many years. Nancy
It is working right now...
I also have not been able to get this link to work. Pat JANJ6744@aol.com wrote: >Dear List, >I've been trying this link and unable to connect. >http://www.tricitynet.com/pls/obit.nsf >Do you know a link that will work? >Kindly, >Jan > > > >
Dear Fellow Researchers: I think the Saginaw Public Library/Saginaw News Obit website might be down for routine maintenance. Try it again on Monday.

Jan, I use the following to reach the Saginaw Public Library Obit page: http://www.saginaw.lib.mi.us . Sometimes I just type in 'Saginaw Public Library'. That also takes me to the library home page.

The link you specified is the last known link for the Saginaw obit database. I tried to access it tonight via the Public Libraries of Saginaw home page -- clicked on "Genealogy/History" and then "Obit Database," but it still didn't work. Sent an e-mail to them to find out what's up. Mary Richardson
Thanks to every one who offered suggestions on how to transfer my FTM files from a desktop to a laptop. When I was getting conflicting advice from different salespeople on how to do this, I knew that some of you on this list would be able to give me the correct way to do this procedure. I was told I needed to buy a software program to move files from one PC to another, to one person who said I could buy an electrical device that would let my PC talk to another PC and transfer the files. Needless to say, I was getting more confused and discouraged with trying to buy a laptop. So, now all I have to do is decide which brand and model to buy and hope that they offer reliable technical support. Thanks again for all of your suggestions. When I do purchase one I will get in touch with those of you who offered to help me with the transfer of files. By the way, what does the message to AOL security group re: FTM files and a virus have to do with my request for info? Just wondering what does this mean? Thanks again for your help. Patricia
I have tried exporting a GEDCOM file and it does not transfer any photos in your albums.

FTM is a Family Tree Maker file StarkT@aol.com wrote:AOL Security Group This is the file that we spoke about. I have reason to believe it is a trojan or virus of some sort. Please advise me after your formal investigation.
I have a laptop and did this. I loaded the software onto my desktop. I then copied the FTW family file and the FTW backup file to my laptop. When I opened Family Tree maker I clicked on "file" and then "restore from backup". If you have any problems let me know.

She is right Patricia I do it all the time, as I use my laptop to go to the libraries with and when I get home I just copy the new info to a floppy and put in into my desktop.Have fun Tanya -------Original Message------- From: MISAGINA-L@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, December 17, 2002 15:55:32 To: MISAGINA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MISAGINA] FTM files Dear Patricia: When you install FTM to your new laptop, transferring your gen info is a very simple process.
