My brother and I have worked very hard to find our grand-father's birth certificate in Upper Michigan without success. We found our g-grand-parents marriage certificate in Negaunee but no records of the births of their 2 first born. They were working in lumber camps but we don't know where exactly. Does anyone have some clues for me?
Genealogy is fascinating, unfortunatly it's the only piece of puzzle missing for our family tree on my mother's side to be complete

thenonnielady, have you thought about using one of those on-line file saver services? I haven't done it yet but I'm thinking it would be a good idea. For a few bucks per month, everything would be safely stored. It would be really aggravating to lose all that hard work.

This thread has gotten me to doing more research. Last night I found some family info that had eluded me. You have to really be aware of what you're looking at. Some census pages were reversed so the names had been incorrectly transcribed. Now I have a missing piece of family history, yay!

Anyone remember the movie "King Ralph"? My DH says he's next in line; traces one family tree back to House of Windsor. Think DH would be more like King Ralph than PofW Charles would. LOL

I have a friend who does geneology who says her line includes kings, queens, prime ministers, bishops,....and horse thiefs, slave traders and murderers! Don't we all!!!
If your lines run into the Bristish Isles and generally Western Europe, you will probably run into royalty, mostly because it was in general the upper classes that survived the plagues and wars, and there is a LOT of inbreeding. Luckily, the royal lines are well documented.
