Dennis, Would it be possible for you to resend this list again, but with an indication of 'exactly' which hamlets/villages are no longer in existence (you can mark each one with an asterisk). I'd like to add all of this listing of yours to the website, too, in addition to the list of incorporated towns/villages in the email below, but because I'd like it to be as accurate as possible, I'll need clarification.

Denise, I can send my entire database of these and other Washtenaw County Locations. The database is in a Microsoft Excel Workbook. Can you open Excel workbooks? If you do not have Excel software, let me know and I'll try to copy it over to WORD or some other program you can use. Let me know if I can send it to you in Excel.
