Hi all, I'm sure some of you have Michigan connections and if so, a recent site is wonderful! Almost all (170) of the Michigan county histories are online and you can search names, places, etc. These are digitized copies of the pages which can be printed. You can search by whole name, surnames, etc. The site is easy to navigate, when you get a "hit", it will give you a listing of the books, then click on the book, it will list pages & you can click & view the page/s in 3 different formats. You can view actual page "image", PDF (can save/email/print) or text, which will highlight your search name. Just doing a search for Cayuga County gave me 85 records, so your NY ancestors who went to MI are possibly listed in county biographies & and histories. The site is: http://www.hti.umich.edu/m/micounty/ Have fun and good hunting.
Marilyn, Thank you for taking the time to forward this migration info to WI. I'm wondering if you have any other migration connection from Cayuga Co. to Illinois or Ohio, time frame would be about 1833 - 35. I've been looking for a Lathrop migration, I've seen notes that said both states but have yet to locate Chauncey or Eveline Lathrop on any census after 1830 in Cayuga Co NY.
