Book Description
While working with a county-wide cemetery mapping project and the veterans interred in them, I was told that no single database existed as to who they are and where they are buried, so I decided to try and create one. Although this directory contains 10,000 veteran listings, more than that are shown as veterans in our county cemeteries. At at this time I couldn't find information as to their branch or time of service. Therefore, the work to make this directory as complete as possible, I will continue to add additional listings as the information needed is located. Each veteran is listed as follows: LAST NAME, FIRST NAME, MIDDLE NAME or initial, Year of BIRTH if known or calculated, Year of DEATH, BRANCH of service, CONFLICT and CEMETERY where the marked is located. If this listing is in bold type, the veteran is a female. An asterisk after the year of death, indicates that the veteran was listed as having died while in-service. Under the heading of conflict, a veteran who was listed as severing during the Civil War, Spanish American War, World War I and World War II, whether or not they were in a combat roll, are listed under that war. Veterans who served at other times of military conflict, are listed under that conflict, only if the public records used for this research, indicated that they were involved in that war. Those veterans who served at other times or their time of service was not given, are listed as SERVICE. This book, a culmination of nearly four years of research, is to honor the men and women who served our country, many who gave their lives, and to the families, friends and all those who also honor their service by placing America flags at their graves and remembering what they did for all of us. Let us not forget!

Family Maps of Muskegon County, Michigan, Deluxe Edition
Author: Gregory Alan BoydPublisher:
ISBN: 9781420315080
Category : Landowners
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
222 pages with 59 total maps Locating original landowners in maps has never been an easy task-until now. This volume in the Family Maps series contains newly created maps of original landowners (patent maps) in what is now Muskegon County, Michigan, gleaned from the indexes of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. But it offers much more than that. For each township in the county, there are two additional maps accompanying the patent map: a road map and a map showing waterways, railroads, and both modern and many historical city-centers and cemeteries. Included are indexes to help you locate what you are looking for, whether you know a person's name, a last name, a place-name, or a cemetery. The combination of maps and indexes are designed to aid researchers of American history or genealogy to explore frontier neighborhoods, examine family migrations, locate hard-to-find cemeteries and towns, as well as locate land based on legal descriptions found in old documents or deeds. The patent-maps are essentially plat maps but instead of depicting owners for a particular year, these maps show original landowners, no matter when the transfer from the federal government was completed. Dates of patents typically begin near the time of statehood and run into the early 1900s. What's Mapped in this book (that you'll not likely find elsewhere) . . . 2661 Parcels of Land (with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map) 26 Cemeteries plus . . . Roads, and existing Rivers, Creeks, Streams, Railroads, and Small-towns (including some historical), etc. What YEARS are these maps for? Here are the counts for parcels of land mapped, by the decade in which the corresponding land patents were issued: DecadeParcel-count 1830s1 1840s97 1850s1087 1860s604 1870s660 1880s158 1890s28 1900s9 1910s8 1920s7 1930s2 1940s1 What Cities and Towns are in Muskegon County, Michigan (and in this book)?
