If you are interested in hosting a Michigan county, please contact Bonnie McVicar-Briggs, Lesley Moss or Sondra Higbee, the State Coordinators for Michigan. We will be happy to help you. We would be happy to have volunteers who prefer to host a township, city or cover a topic in a township too, such as religion, history, cemeteries, occupations, etc. We can easily link your page to the County it falls under.If you want to contribute, please check out the Volunteer FAQ Page.

The reservations remained in the area of the mouth of the Rifle and Au Gres Rivers until they were ceded in 1837 to the government. County links:
