There is a ST.Joseph, Michigan in Berrien CO or did you mean ST. Joseph County, MI ...in MiGen web one can access different counties via a clickable area , <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~migenweb/county_list.htm">Michigan Counties Selection List</A> will that help to write to the county ? I sure love the PA Gen Web Clickable map , but the MI map doesnt seem to work lately...so counties are a way to go ... Luv

I'm trying to locate a place of death for William H. STURM who died in 1932, he was born in 1857. He is buried in Stark Co, IL, but IL has no record of death for him. Also trying to find an obit on him. In his wife's probate records in 1913 it listed a daughter, Ailleen Carrie WECKLER living in St. Joe, Michigan. This is a long shot, but I'm going to try here. Does Michigan have a death index somewhere? Thanks for any help anyone can give me. Even if I could find where his daughter is buried that might lead me to some more information. Donna in PA

Hello, I am new to this list and requesting a look up or any information that can be given to me. I am looking for information on my GGG Uncle Chauncey G. Cole and his wife Catherine, and also his parents John (my GGG Grandfather) and Mary A. Cole. The family resided in Mendon, Michigan (St. Joseph County) I have them in the census reports. I have also found them in the St. Joseph County Death Index, 1867-1929 - I was wondering if someone could look up the information and either copy it for me or send it to me - this is the information that I found: Chauncey Cole / Book 2 / Page 206 John N. Cole / Book 2 / Page 208 Mary A. Cole / Book 2 / Page 90 Evalyn J. Cole / Book 1 / Page 210 If anyone has any information on this family I would love to hear about them. Chauncey and Catherine's children were as follows: Daul E. (First name spelling is very iffy); Phebe G.; Mary E.; Katherine G.; and Andy E. The other look up I am interested in is the 1897 Atlas for St. Joseph County, in Mendon Township, Section 12. I am looking for Chauncey and Catherine Cole. Thanks so much for any help you can give me! Deirdre Alheim (Helena, Montana)

Greetings, I received this query and thought I'd pass it along to the mailing list to see what St Joseph researchers might have to say. Do you know the answer to these questions? Do you know how Centreville got it's name? Why was it called Centreville? Is it the center of something? I'll pass along any responses to the person who asked me. Regards, Denise List Administrator of the St Joseph Co., MI mailing list

I'm out here, but have no information or connection with Hagadorn or Johnson. I'm planning a trip to St Joseph's in early May. Does anyone have any suggestions on libraries or research sources. I'm planning on going to the Burr Oak Library and to Centerville. Surnames I'm researching are ENGLE, WELLS, WARE, LAYTON. Martha Elmendorf Orlando, Florida

I also highly recommend the Sturgis Library. I did find things there that I didn't find at Burr Oak.

I am trying to find my father's ancestory and wonder if anyone out there, knows anything. My grandfather was Fredrick J. Sheets and my grandmother was Mary Ellen Sheets (Called Ella). They had three children together, (although there are half-siblings somewhere) They are Elizabeth (Fornshell) Baird, who married Cecil Clarence Baird and lived in Van Buren, IN. years ago, George Sheets Fornshell, who I'm told resided in Indianapolis, IN. for a while and my father, Lester William Fornshell, who married my mother, Florence Margaret (Coffman) Fornshell and lived in Hebron, IN when younger, but spent most of their lives in Chesterton, IN. Does any of this sound like it may be a family member of yours? Cherry (Fornshell) Charlson

Not too long ago I found 3 volumes of St. Joseph County cemetery books at a local library. Apparently there are or will be more volumes available. Does anyone know if volumes 4 & 5 are in print yet? Also, if they are in print, are they available at one or more of the libraries in St. Joseph Co.? Sue

Just thought I might start something by reposting my Hagadorn and Johnson lines....Both from Burr Oak. Anyone else out there? Mary Jefferson Juneau, Alaska "I conceive that a knowledge of books is the basis on which all other knowledge rests." George Washington

Hi all, My Gibson GALLAGHER (b. circa 1831 - d. 1890) is shown on the Center Township, Porter County, Indiana census for 1850. He is living with the James M. BUEL family. In the same household is a Samuel JONES and a Mary FORBES. Name, age, occupation (where given) and birthplace are shown below... Buel, James M. 41 M Waggon Maker 1,400 Massachusetts Buel, Harriet A. 34 F Ohio Buel, Roana E. 15 F Indiana Buel, George S. 9 M Indiana Buel, Mary B. 7 F Indiana Jones, Samuel A. 26 M Painter North Carolina Galigar, Gibson 18 M Waggon Maker Michigan Forbes, Mary 14 F Ireland I'm querying on the St. Joseph County, Michigan list because that is where I believe Gibson GALLAGHER was born. I'm wondering if this BUEL family may also have had a connection to St. Joseph County, Michigan before they arrived in Indiana... Does anyone have a Gallagher connection to the BUEL, JONES or FORBES individuals above?? Best wishes, Bonnie (Gallagher) Gilson
