 Introduction:

I have a degree in Genealogy and Family History, and have been researching for 46 years.  

I have volunteered my time finding dozens of adoptees parents using Genetic Genealogy.  Also through "Searchangels.org". Currently I am working on an 82 year old Kidnapping case, and a Cold Case Murder.  Also a project of following the migration and immigration of a particular Irish Parish Families, where they settled and migrated through the U.S. 

Through all my research I have acquired much material. My desire for this site is to make data of this area more easily accessible for the people who are interested in the History of West Michigan - but live at great distances from here and would otherwise find it hard to obtain.  Also material from over seas. 
 

 Please be patient as I move my information from my old page over here to this site.
