Welcome to the
Midland County
(This website has no official connection to any organization in Midland County, Michigan)
| Midland County boundaries were set off in 1831 from Saginaw County. Organization of the county occurred in 1850. However, no officers were elected until 1855. The original county boundaries included parts of what is now Bay, Isabella, Clare, Gladwin and Roscommon Counties. The Chippewa, Pine, Salt, Sturgeon, Tittabawassee and Tobacco Rivers flow through the county. The name of the county reflects its' proximity to the geographical center of the Lower Peninsula. The County seat is Midland City. The city is located at the confluence of the Tittabawassee and Chippewa Rivers, called "The Forks". Midland County is noted for being the headquarters of the Dow Chemical Corporation, bromine production and for its' logging and lumbering history. |

In March and April, of 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Michigan GenWeb. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Michigan, where collected genealogical databases would be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located in the index. At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page. My name is Donna Hoff-Grambau, and I am the web person responsible for Midland county. Please contact me if you would like to contribute information to this database or volunteer to do lookups or type information into a format that can be uploaded to the web. If you would like to host or co-host a Michigan county, or contribute information to any of the state wide projects (Census and Tombstone) please contact the Michigan State Coordinator, Jan Cortez.
