PS What is the best way to keep sending this list a family at a time?
Also will be in MI around the 20th to be asking and checking some more.

Talk about ESP having the FAITH, Wow. This is a BIG BINGO - I was about to
start an e-mail but first - check them once more - the above. First
    HE did say :
    SEEK and you shell find
    ASK and ye shall receive
    Knok and it shall be delivered onto you

I've just completed about 1725 family tree entries from many notes, list,
and three big sources an aunt Aline, 2nd cousin Jean, and sister-in-law
Mary
without them i'd only have a few hundred. Last Nov to take data entry
brakes, i started surfing - joining list and than it was reading mail for
names, surnames as the families are either from or live in 40 states - 26
counties of MI - and 6 Countries.

YES, I was about to share my finding, but what  - how nuch. You answnered
that the other day - start with oldest proven first and work from their -
than you shared how a page could be set up and contacts with county and
state. I visited the Michigan web site today and was making a rough draff
of
what to send than Susan's 1910 census above.

YOU have shared about three New Michigan counties info - connections
EACH county info you send, gives You/your family more coverage and chances of being found,etc-

Usually start with Oldest PROVEN family and continue your kids on down to =
WHO/WHEN/WHERE married
AND there kids
AND etc
THESE areas will be linked/connected to these other counties/states =
SO others can Find YOU and you Can Share that info with us!

THANKS for sharing your SELLERS connection!
