I am very active as a volunteer in Macomb County for the Macomb County Genealogy Group and the Mount Clemens Public Library and would be glad to advise anyone concerning research there. In addition to a number of the databases on the Library's website http://www.libcoop.net/mountclemens/genealog.htm -- I have many databases & transcriptions "in process" on my PC. For instance, I can tell you the date any person died in Macomb Co, and answer many other questions. However, if you want an actual copy of an obituary, death record (to 1949), probate record etc I would like you to use the Research Assistance link from the Library website. There is a very minimal charge (for instance 4 obits for $5) - but any funds generated go directly back to support & expand the resources in the Local History Room at the Library. My personal research in Michigan lies in the counties of Cass, St. Joseph, Mecosta and a few others.

The town of Ozark, MI is in the upper peninsula just to the west of highway 123 which goes north. the town still exists, but the mining part does not. Go to google.com and put in where is Ozark, MI and a map will come up. Good luck.

Has anybody heard of the town of Ozark?? It no longer exists but it's apperantly where my grandfather, Woitto/Voitto Lehto was born. I have found his parents Marriage records (they were married in Detroit) and the last name is spelled Lehta (Letho on a couple sensus records). The Seeking Michigan site is neat but I can't seem to find my grandfather's birth record on there. Is that only for death records??

Thanks Kerri - I know about the latter half of Edwin's life, but the beginning is what is still illusive to me. I have him from about 1865 on starting in Missiouri and then moving to Kansas. He was a member of the IOOF and a Railroad Engineer. I have found a couple of great resources like this one on History of Kansas by Cutler. You need to scroll down to Edwin S Harris. (http://www.kancoll.org/books/cutler/atchison/atchison-co-p17.html#BIOGRAPHICAL_SKETCHES_GLANCY-HINKEL)

That is where I got the Bellevue Michigan from. Although I don't know how long his family was there, since my research has shown that there wasn't railroads through that area until about 10 years after he was supposedly starting working.

I am looking for information about my father, Carl David Weiner (nee Kalman Vainerovich), who came to this country in 1922 thru Ellis Island accompanied by his grandparents, Yankel and Sora Riva Weinerovitz (Vainerovich). They initially traveled to Benton Harbor, Michigan to live with Charles Weiner, one of the Weinerovitz's sons and Carl's uncle. According to the ship's manifest and HIAS records, Charles and his family lived on Boston Street.

According to his birth record from Vilna, my father would have been 13 y/o when he arrived, althought the ship's manifest lists him as 10 y/o. I would like to know if my father attended any schools while he was staying with his uncle and, if so, which schools and whether or not he graduated from high school. I would also like to know how long he lived with Charles and where he went from there. I also know my father was married probably some time between 1926 and 1938, and that this marriage may have occurred in Michigan. I would like to know the name of this woman.

Any help is appreciated.

seekingmichigan.org is a great site. I was able to find many of the death certificates I needed and verified several pieces of information. Does anyone know when it will be updated?
