Lookup Help for Midland County 

We need YOUR help!  If you have any resources at home that you'd be willing to do some minor research in for those looking for ancestors in Midland County, would you be willing to donate your time?  The more lookup resources we have, the better off we all are!!  If you are interested, write me  (Donna Hoff-Grambau) and let me know!  Midland Genealogical Society Volunteers work in the Midland Room at the Library five afternoons a week and do take email queries and lookup requests.  They will fulfill your lookup request for a small fee which covers postage and some of their time.  This is a fundraising effort for the Society.  They have many books at their fingertips as well as access to the Midland newspapers, birth, death and marriage records and some census records on microfilm.  Write to Mary Lou Hayes, our email contact, for help.
