Marilyn, Here are two URL's that will help you plan your research trip in July Genealogical Society of Washtenaw County http://www.hvcn.org/info/gswc/ Bentley Historical Collection http://www.umich.edu/~bhl/ The GSWC library is co-located with the FHL in Ann Arbor. We will be moving to Saline in July as has already been mentioned. You might want to make arrangements to meet with one of our members who can show you the library and discuss your research with you. Our research committee meets at the library every Monday from 10-2, so that would be a good time. Good luck, Jan Tripp Ann Arbor, MI -----Original Message----- From: Jim & Marilyn Talbot [mailto:talbotvmk@earthlink.net] Sent: Monday, April 26, 2004 9:29 PM To: MIWASHTE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [MIWASHTE] library I would like to find out what library in Washtenaw County has the largest genealogy collection.

I was corresponding with Nancy Krohn by e-mail and she thought that the GSWC library would be interested in receiving a copy of my Family History on the Podewils Family. They immigrated from Pommern in 1858. I would like to mail this from Michigan since postage is very expensive in Canada. I may be visiting Port Huron, Mich. in the near future and could mail a copy from the Mall Post Office. I have included documentation from all sources including inscriptions from family books dating back to 1766, Ship's List, 1858, Ann Arbor and Northfield Twp. Directories, Census records, Political Enrollments, etc. as well as documentation from LDS records available on line. I also show relationships with four other families who resided in Ann Arbor and Northfield Townships. I included background material on the political situation in Pommern from the reign of Frederick the Great to the mid 19th century and tried to integrate this with my own family history. I certainly hope that I can visit your new center in the future. Sincerely, Doris Podewils Anderson dorisanderson@sympatico.ca
