A leisurely Look at Michigan’s stories and traditions from yesterday to yesteryear.
A useful collection of Michigan’s forty-four past governors. Subjects range from Stephens T. Mason (1835-1840), the first governor of Michigan through John Engler (1991-2002), the forty-fourth. Entries include personal information, party affiliation, residence, and location of manuscript materials.
"If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you." The Michigan state motto served as the inspiration for this blog. If you look, you will find stories, photos and more to connect you to this great state and its wonderful history.
The Michigan death records collection here at Seeking Michigan, covering the years 1897 to 1920, is now largely complete. With the records added recently, there are now more than 960,000 certificates available for free at this site, meaning that the project is now 99% complete.
