"The Calhoun County Poorhouse Register covers a period from September 10, 1850 through October 1, 1870. It was
recently found in a building in Marshall, MI which was being vacated and turned
over to the community historian. He gave the Calhoun County Genealogical
Society permission to copy it. We will make every effort to soon have it
on our website at http://www.rootsweb.com/~micalhou/ccgs.htm.
When it is available on our website I will notify you."
Carlene DeMaso, Vice President
Calhoun County Genealogical Society
" The
State Archives at the MI State Library in Lansing, MI has all of the original
books (names of inmates, dates, minutes for meetings regarding poorhouse
matters, receipts, etc.) for the Bay County Poor Farm. My great-uncle,
James Purtell, was the administrator for 30 years, and in searching for
information about him, I have looked through these Poor Farm books."

"My information is that most of the Allegan
County Poorhouse records were destroyed when the building was demolished. I
have been told that some were salvaged, but that salvage had been discouraged
when these records were dumped. I would love to learn more about any Allegan
Co. records that might still exist."
