Hi Sherri,

A copy of this response to the Email you sent me at my AOL address is being
sent to the Cheboygan County Genealogical Society (CCGS) mail list. I've
included a copy of your WALTER query with the hopes that one or more CCGS
members may be able to help you more directly. I am a CCGS member and know
that our group will help you where it can, in researching your family. If
you want to know more about the CCGS, including membership info, we have a
website at:

http://www.rootsweb.com/~miccgs/CCGSmain.html

Also, there is a USGenWeb Cheboygan County website that is maintained by
one of our members at:

http://www.rootsweb.com/~micheboy/micheboy.htm

Your Email to me was the first step, Sherri, and this is the second one.
Hopefully one of our members will contact you directly at: <>
with some pertinent info on your WALTER line within the next few days. If
not, let me know.

My

common
