Hi Ron, I apologize for the delay. I too have been searching in both Washington and Michigan for descendants with the surnames Shannon, Perkins, Warner, Stevens and Chambers. I appreciate your recommendation for Washington. I have found an outstanding genealogist in Merrill, Michigan, who can help you with your Michigan, Canada and possibly Ohio searches. His name is Duane Miller and he has managed to pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat for me on several occasions. A second and equally as good genealogist has taken a brief respite from the online world, otherwise I'd give you her information too. I use Duane Miller who is a Michigan native. He is in Merrill, Michigan and knows the entire area like the back of one's hand. He has located information for me in Merrill, Hemlock and Saginaw, Michigan that would have otherwise gone undetected. Aside from his thoroughness, he practically gives away his services. The man has a love of history and local lore and he enjoys helping anyone who asks for it. The best part of it is that unlike most genealogists who charge anywhere between $35.00 and $65.00 per hour, Duane will do a guaranteed search for a flat $25.00, Period. If he does not locate what you're looking for he will not charge you anything at all. You can reach Duane at: "damiller@journey.com" or on his website at: "Family-Researcher@Angelfire.com." If you will send me a secure way of doing so, I would be happy to give you my number so I can share what he has found for me, with you. Good luck on your search. Kevin O'Brien Laguna Hills, CA
