1894 Michigan State Census
This document lists the names by ward, township, and county of United States Soldiers of the Civil War Residing in Michigan, June 1, 1894. The information was extracted from the 1894 Michigan State Census. Since the 1890 federal census was destroyed in a fire, researchers can use this list of names as an additional tool beyond the census, to document their ancestors whereabouts during the 1890's. There are approximately 50,000 names provided.

Ledger of Mrs. Ulessus Kennedy
The records contained here occurred within or around the Allegany Reservation located in Cattaraugus County, New York., and were recorded in an old ledger owned by Mrs. Ulessus Kennedy. The records in this manuscript cover the years of 1880-1947 and consist primarily of death records, but also include birth, marriage and will records. It cannot be ascertained whether all individuals mentioned in this manuscript were Native American or not. But clearly a large portion of those are.

Ghost Town Project Web Sites
What is meant by "Ghost Town"? Your first thought would probably be that deserted old western town with dust and sagebrush blowing through town. A shutter flapping in the wind and no one around. But it could be that group of old buildings down the road. You know, the ones that are overgrown with weeds, brush and trees. And just out from them that old house or church that has long ago seen it last visitor. This too could be a "Ghost Town." It can be a town or community that was a thriving commercial center or largely populated, but has either been abandoned or diminished greatly from what it once was during it's "Boom Days". Let's look at the classes of "Ghost Towns".

There are six classes of "Ghost Towns", but we are mainly concerned with the first four.

  1. Scattered rubble or site where nature has reclaimed the land.

  2. Roofless buildings or partially demolished buildings.

  3. Boarded up or abandoned buildings, no population.

  4. A community with many abandoned buildings and a small population of residents.

  5. Historic community or town, functional, but much smaller than in its boom years.

  6. A restored town, state park, or replica of an old town, community or fort.
