I was fortunate to marry into a family who kept diaries and family bibles, and whose family home we still use seven generations after it was built. These records and the family "treasures" I've dug up with a metal detector have inspired me to connect the names and places through geneology. I'm currently researching Carleton-Gilbert-Blacklock-Culver-Mulberry-Bingham families in the Manistee and Benzie counties.
