MICHIGAN

Did
you know that during World War
II, German POWs were held at a
camp in Shiawassee County? Do
you know about the great fire
that destroyed many farms in
Lapeer County? And speaking of
fires, did you know that lumber
from West Michigan trees
practically rebuilt the city of
Chicago after the great Chicago
fires?
These
things and more you would know if
you were to visit our Michigan
Special Interest Group chat on
Monday evenings here in the
Genealogy Forum. We meet for an
hour each week, beginning at 9:00
PM Eastern and most weeks we are
in open chat, just sharing about
our Michigan (and related) kin,
finds, questions, stories, and
even the weather!
You
are more than welcome to stop in
and learn more about the history
and people of the 26th state.
Michigan may be cold this time of
year but you'll get a warm
welcome in our chat room! Join
hosts Maria,
Mikki,
and Jill
along with regulars and visitors,
and bring your surnames,
counties, and questions!
