Dear Kevin, My friend, Larry Swarthout, who used to have the apartment across the hall at the studio is researching his family. He lives on Brockway in Saginaw, MI. He'd love the photo you have. Kindly, Jan

Freeman, were you a member of the 1935 track team at Arthur Hill High School? Pat

Hi Kevin, I was wondering if I could get a copy of the photo to add to the Saginaw County Photographs website. If that is a possibility you can just email it to me. A photo like that would be very helpful. Thank You Carolyn KevinOBrien8527@aol.com wrote:If you are researching the SWARTHOUT name, please contact me. I have a photo of an "A.F.

Mary Sue, I notice one of the surnames you are searching was GARNER. Do you by any chance have a Bert Garner in your files. I am helping a friend tracking hime down. All we have is an old yellowed obituary. Unfortunately there were no dates mentioned in the obituary nor was the name or date of the paper noted. We believe he died around 1900 near New Lothrop.

Last week someone listed the new online site for Michigan Cemeteries at the Library of Michigan as: michigancemeteries.libraryofmichigan.org. When I tried to access the site I assumed that it was <A HREF="www.michigancemeteries.libraryofmichigan.org"> www.michigancemeteries.libraryofmichigan.org</A>. However, by trial and error I discovered that you have to go to: <A HREF="http://michigancemeteries.libraryofmichigan.org"> http://michigancemeteries.libraryofmichigan.org</A> (without the "www"). It is a great addition to the Library's website. I just printing out a list of all cemeteries in Saginaw and Bay Counties just by entering the county name only on the search engine. Thank you to whoever let us know about the site. Mary Sue Schnell searching: GARNER, RUGENSTEIN, KAGEL, SKUCZAS and related families in Saginaw and Bay Counties.

I was browsing through Livingston County, NY and came across this Saginaw burial that might help someone. They never would think to look in Livingston County. It is: www.rootsweb.com/~nyliving/cemetery/williamsburg.htm It says: Elizabeth P. Fitzhugh - wife of James G. Birney, Passed Away Jan 12 1869 Ann Hughes, dau of James G. and Elizabeth Birney, Born Nov 27, 1843 at Bay City, Michigan, Passed Away March 8, 1846 Maj. Fitzhugh Birney - A.A.C. of the 2nd Div. 2 Corps Army of the Potomac, son of James G. and Elizabeth Birney, born at Saginaw City, Mich. Jan. 9, 1842, Passed Away at Washington City, D.C. July 17, 1864 I hope this may help someone. - F. Coats

Just finished the Senior class of 1913 with photos that are in the Aurora of Saginaw High School. http://www.mifamilyhistory.org/saginaw/yearbooks.asp Still have the juniors, sophomores and freshman to enter in, but they don't have photos.
