Welcome
to the
Livingston County MI
History & Genealogy Project
Hosted
by USGenNet.org
|
|
|
Please note, effective
immediately, the
|
Livingston County Michigan Historical &
Genealogical Project
|
is in no longer affiliated with USGenWeb. I
tired of the political nature of the whole process. This is NOT what we
desired at the beginning for USGenWeb. During several disputes, even
contacting the AB for help against a state coordinator that failed to
cooperate with several county coordinators that also left MIGenWeb, they
never even responded. :((
Keep in mind I did NOT quit MIGenWeb, Jan Cortez de-linked me without
cause! She has done the same to several others and is now in the process
of trying to rid herself of yet another county that she does not like
the coordinator. I see that the person she tried to replace me with has
already left, and another is now in place. Sad to see such disarray for
the researcher who as soon as they learn what the site offers, the
coordinator has left. :(((
I am pleased to be affiliated with the American History & Genealogy
Project and the American Local History Network which IMHO are much more
like the original project that was started so long ago.
This site is NOT going to disappear, it will continue as always.
It will continue to offer
the very best materials for Livingston County MI. The url is not
changing, people WILL know how to find the site, of that I am
sure.
Sadly due to the collusion of a few people especially Jan Cortez in the former group that I
was affiliated with did not understand that a 501(c)(3) is a NON-PROFIT
entity and no one by law is entitled to any funds raised by such entity.
As a result she did everything in her power to get rid of me and
others that have already left that group. To read the entire story, click

Maybe
your people were just over the border from Livingston? Or...maybe they
moved back and forth...ancestors did that to confuse us you know.
<g> Here are the counties that
border Livingston. Also be sure to check out
the MARDOS Memorial Library as there are tons of things on line for
all over the country.

My
Dad,
who always taught me that "Anything that anyone can do with
their ten fingers, you can do with yours," and so I always try before giving up.
|
My
mom, who taught me to continue to always love, hold no grudges, rather PROVE the
naysayer was wrong, no matter what
the past or present holds.
