A suggestion:

I have a group for Puerto Rico, an island which has 78 municipalities each with its own 5-10+ districts. Since I agree that posts concerning queries about ancestors in specific areas of Michigan are bound to get buried in all the posts, maybe what I did may keep this from happening. I started a discussion for each municipality and all those with say an interst in ancestors for San Juan are all under San Juan, those for Arecibo are all under Arecibo and so on.

Likewise, those looking for ancestors in Genesee, Wayne, Huron, etc could look for their county discussion and place their information there. Just a thought. It works for us.

Hope this website of Berrien County Genealogy Project
( Benton Harbor ) will help.

Yes, we understand that but perhaps the poll can be used somehow in compiling the data to keep the library open. It does show there are many genealogist out there. Doncha just go argh.. with the 'plain site' issues!!! like glasses on top of our heads! lol

Thanks, Brenda. There it was -- "lost" in plain sight! Sorry it didn't ask specifically about the Library of Michigan, though.

Ann, I went there (via Google) and could find no poll whatsoever anywhere on the home page. Ideas?

Important, in regards to the Library of Michigan! No matter where you live, please vote in the poll being conducted by the Lansing State Journal. It is in the middle of the home page, and it closes today July 30th at 7pm. http://www.lansingstatejournalcom

Micki,
I have began to notice on other groups here on genealogywise that most of the creator's are recommending just that. I would think it is better to have a discussion forum for the family. It took me a little bit to piece all your info together going through the comments and many new people are not going to bother going through a lot of old comments. Another suggestion would have been to start a forum for just listing family names in Michigan being researched.

Hi everyone,
I haven't figured this system out just yet,but I'm beginning to think that posting here, on the "wall" is for general discussion, introductions, etc.

Should I start a discussion forum re my Donahue line and adoptions instead of keeping it on this wall? It seems this has taken up a lot of room on the wall where other people's posts are getting buried and maybe not read.
