But of course! Thanks for the thought - so many people have blinders on as far as area goes, and miss so much because of small moves and border changes.

I was just at the Library of Michigan and they said that everything is not loaded yet. You may want to keep checking it. The date range is from the year 1867 to 1920. So anything before and after these dates will not be loaded.

I found one of your 3 missing relatives. <a href="http://WWW.SeekingMichigan.org">WWW.SeekingMichigan.org</a> has the death certificate for Daniel Hostler with a death date of 13 Oct 1898. I will continue to search for you to see if I can find anymore.

Thank you, Dear, but is is definitely Muskegon county - the county directories and census records I mentioned in the original post show that. Daniel shows in the 1890 veterans' schedule, but there is no record of him in the CW graves registration transcriptions, or any of the cemetery listings I can find. He never applied for a pension.<br />
<br />
I think I'll go after another ancestor for a while.

I googled Blue Lake Twp, MI. There is two counties with a Blue Water Twp, Muskegon and Kalkaska County. Maybe that will help. Check the census records and make sure it is Muskegon CO. See if that helps. Also, check Civil war registrations. I found one of my disappearing relative through the service records and was found in WI in a soldiers home.<br />
<br />
Hope that helps.

Thanks, Margaret!<br />

Yes, I've been to the website. It's really pretty good - but nothing. It would have been so much easier if Daniel Hosler had decided to apply for a pension. Must be he figured diarrhea wasn't worthy.<br />

Yep - they are there. Been through them all. The people just aren't there. I haven't gotten to the tax records yet, so that's always a possibility - although some of the ancestors rented, rather than owned their farms. I'll keep trying.<br />

I see they do have tax lists, deeds (partly indexed), and at least one county directory -- any hope there? They also have many years of chancery court files, which apparently are indexed volume by volume. (I haven't used these, but in Indiana those indexes are usually only by plaintiff, but at least you can read them faster than the full record.) I guess the next thing after that is to go after the families they married into and did business with, and try to come at them sideways. Hope this helps -- Harold<br/><br/><br/><br/>-- Harold</div>
