Hello Washtenaw List:
I am looking for anything and anyone on Bentons in Washtenaw County, especially descendants who wish to correspond. Also John and/or Peter Lowry of Saline Ann Arbor Road and their descendants. Have good pictures of these families; I should really look through the albums and simply list people pictured -- perhaps others should consider the same thing, or perhaps we should jointly begin a master list of early Washtenaw settlers whose pictures we own.

Dear Robin,
Vital records, as registered in the State of Michigan, begin in 1867. In
most counties there are various courthouse records. For instance, Washtenaw
Marriages begin about 1830 (a few before). Our circuit court records are
intact (not filmed), our probate records are intact (not filmed). Our land
records are intact (not filmed). So there are courthouse records. We have
some filmed church records and most churches have not filmed church records.

Hi
I am hoping someone can help me find which wards to look under in the 1930 Census.
807 Pauline , Ann Arbor - George Simmons
Bath Street, off Huron, Ann Arbor- Raymond Wint
Also looking for 3 sisters known to be living together in 1920 near the University area of Ann Arbor, any suggestion where to start looking ? Amy, Alta, and Marian Graves are not listed in the 1920 census index
Thank you

Hello
I'm new to this list, also trying to find info from 1930 census. Looking for
Oscar and Luthera PICKERING, who lived at 1012 S. Forest Avenue in Ann Arbor
(per 1927 and 1932 city directories). Also looking for Harold and Zelma
PICKERING, who lived at 720 Haven Avenue in Ann Arbor (per 1932 and 1933 city
directories).
In order to check the 1930 census, as you probably know, I need an ED
(Enumeration District) number....does anyone know how/where I can find that
for the above listed addresses
Good morning to all,
I finally have the gedcoms up on our web page. There are more names on
there than what is listed so if you have a few moments to spare I would like
to invite you over to peruse our web page. If you find you have a connection
I would love to hear from you. If you know of any sources that would have
photos of families involved I would be so appreciative to hear from you.
These are my husband's lines and I don't have any photos for them. I would
be more than happy to post them to the web
There is information in the front of each city directory that gives the
streets included in each ward. A 1910 directory should help you.

Marti,
Hi. I have LOTS on the Miller's, but nothing on the Wenk's. Do you know
the marriage date on Estella and Arthur. Estella Miller Wenk was my cousin,
whom I never knew. I am trying to track down the Miller's for my family
tree and for personal reasons.
Are you a relative? I would love to know about the Wenk's. If you are
curious about the Millers or myself, please contact me at the email
provided. I would love to "chat".
By the way, what state are you in? I am in Arkansas, and my father (Ray

Lyman ROSE lived in Augusta, Washtenaw County according to the 1850, 1860 and
1870 census. He apparently died sometime between a 1870 and 1880 as his
family is in Missawkee County in 1880 and his wife, Louisa is listed as a
widow. What cemeteries were in the Augusta area at that time? Does anyone
know if there are cemetery transcription books that would have these
cemeteries listed?

I am interested in corresponding w/someone who is a member of the Genealogy Society for Washtenaw County. I myself do not live in Washtenaw County nor has any of my ancestors settled there (so far!). I am however, teaching a class in Washtenaw County and would like to find someone who can come tell the Washtenaw County residents I am teaching what the society has
Judy,
You did not happen to record the death years as well? GSWC has death
returns to about 1914 on microfilm and copies could be made. I am suspicious
of Pearl Phelan's 1935 death record in book 4 as sometime after 1914 the
county indexed deaths only by year and page number. Volume/Book 4 only goes
to 1914.
If you need copies for deaths after 1914, I would recommend that you contact
the Washtenaw County Clerk/Register's Office
https://www.ewashtenawco.com/servlet/VitalRec You can order them on-line.

Dear Paulette:
Thank you for the inscriptions from Forest Lawn Dexter. I love that spot,
and know it well, and will probably be buried there myself. If you find
anything else on this family, which is precisely the Benton family I am
interested in, please let me know.
Yours
Jim Smith Benton

going on the pictures let us know.

Have you contacted the GSWC-the county genealogical society?
There on the web...and a nice group of ladies and gentleman.
They have services too.

I have just been working in Salt Lake City on the 1930 Census and
learned a few tricks for the bigger cities, but it does not include Ann
Arbor. I used it for Detroit and it worked pretty well. First you need
to find the address in 1930 using a city directory, something which was
easy in Salt Lake City, but difficult for those far away. Then go to
this site: http://home.pacbell.net/spmorse/census/ It takes
some patience, but you should get a list of EDs that contain your
street. Here follow
Oh! Of course. I will consider making a master list if several folks
answer that it is a good idea. And you will hear from me if that is the
case.
Yours,
Jim Smith Benton

If anyone has access to the marriage records I need the date of marriage for Gus or Gustav Thompson and Joanna or Johanna (possibly Gavilan) in the 1861-1863 time period.
