This program is in partnership with the Muskegon County Genealogical Society
Drawn by high-paying manufacturing jobs and inexpensive land, thousands of people from all over Europe and the United States (including the deep south, New England, New York and Pennsylvania) migrated to Michigan during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
This session, aimed at researchers whose ancestral trails extend to and from Michigan, explores these migration patterns and provides an overview of the rich and abundant genealogical resources available in print and online.
A Senior Archivist at the Archives of Michigan, where he specializes in family history and Michigan research, Kris has worked in the genealogical community for nearly 20 years.
