Jarrod & Marcia, I hope that this suggested project will come about. I was in Monroe County about 10 years ago, only able to be there about 4 hours; visited the museum and did read one newspaper article that was very interesting. I live in the eastern part of lower Michigan. My ancestors were in Monroe County in the 1860s to 1870s, in Leon Township. I walked their property. :-) I know how valuable databases on line are to people living a long distance away. We have been very active locally (Macomb County) to index many things. You may check the URL to see how our local library has made our indexing available to many people, who when they find something they need, contact the library for a copy of the article. My work on the indexing is a way of 'paying forward' to others for what I have used in other locations. http://www.libcoop.net/mountclemens/ Good luck in this project. Susanne Farnham-Hieber
