The book "The History of Ottawa County" is a huge tome and sold by the Dobson Museum. It was printed in 1987 and has a lot of family histories in it. I think I paid $50.00 for it and it has been invaluable to me. My mother spent days looking through it and it brought back a lot of memories for her. Most of it is in the Northern portion of Ottawa County. I used copy is available also through http://www.gregathcompany.com/usedbooks.html +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | The coolest site for free home pages, email, chat, e-cards, movie info.. | | http://www.goplay.com - it's time to Go Play! | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
