I just spoke to Yvonne Aspinall, who is heading up the Freeport Genealogical

Canada, but otherwise would love to be there. She gave me her email
address, as I mentioned to her that I was sure that there were others who
lived too far away to attend, but who are interested in Freeport genealogy
and history. She said to go ahead and post her email to the Barry Co. list.
It is: aspnll@cs.com . She said that they would like to
Hello Freeport Families,
My husband is a descendant of the Joe Kauffman clan and I would dearly love to attend these meetings, but it's a long way from Northern Ontario to Lower Michigan. If anyone there could keep me informed as to what's happening or get me an address (e or snail) I'd be so pleased. Also I have quite a bit of the Kauffman family history and would love to share if there are any others out there willing to communicate.
Thanks,
Rae Swan

Battle Creek and would love to come, but at age 74 I don't do night driving

As you know, Freeport was founded by the ROUSH family. For the record,
my grandmother was a ROUSH and my ancestors include the three ROUSH brothers
who came to Barry County in the mid-1800's. I have
