Hi all and Happy Holidays! After several months of compiling, debating, designing, typing and retyping - Cindy Leutz and I have finally completed our Mackinac County web site on the American Local History Network! This has been quite a learning experience. It has long been our belief that genealogical information should be shared. So we have transcribed and compiled a large assortement of information in our respective libraries about Mackinac County. In addition, we have also selected a wide range of links to excellent websites. There is something here for everyone: historical visual images of Mackinac County in postcards, fur trade and voyageur information, transcribed 19th Century documents including Annuities, fur trade records and the 1839 Half Breed Census, information on shipping and ferries, history of some famous and courageous Metis women in the fur trade (please excuse the goofy coloring on the typeface, we couldnt figure out why it changed colors!), military information and even information on Haunted Places in and around Mackinac County! The emphasis of our research has focused on Native American, First Nations and Metis information. Our purpose in doing this site has been to share accurate information based on primary source research and sharing some of those documents that have aided us in our research. We hope that the information will help you in your research and encourage you to share your findings, as well. We invite you to take some time to explore the site and comment in our guest book. Thanks and Happy Holidays to everyone! Terry Weller and Cindy Leutz http://www.rootsweb.com/~mimacki2/page1.html

What a great website! I've saved it to favorites so I can go back and check it out further. So much info, it's great! I live in Emmet County but the Mackinac County area is very interesting also. My ggg-uncle was Rix Robinson the famous fur trader who was in the Mackinac Island/St. Ignace area but I haven't found any reference to him on your website or links...yet! : ) Nancy > Hi all and Happy Holidays!
