MIGenWeb Project |
In March and April, 1996,
a group of genealogists organized the Michigan Comprehensive GenealogyDatabase.The
idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Michigan,
where collected databases would be stored. In addition the databases would
be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual were found in
more than one county, they could be located in the index.
At the same time,
volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of
databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page. My name is
Jan Cortez and I'm your host for Muskegon County. Please contact me if
you would like to contribute to this database. If you would like to host
a Michigan county, including this web site, please contact
me.
Welcome to the Muskegon County MIGenWeb project. My name is Jan Cortez and I am honored to be your host. Although I don't live in Muskegon, my goal is to make information on this area available to others with roots in Muskegon. I hope to get others involved in making this happen. If you have uncopyrighted material that you would be willing to share, have access to materials that could be posted on this website, or are willing to transcribe material to put on the site, I would like to hear from you! Keep an eye on this site as I will always try to have a couple of new projects in the works- Click on See What's New to see the most recent additions and projects in the works. I hope you enjoy your stay and look forward to hearing from people that would like to become involved... maybe you!

Muskegon River
Carmen
Carter
06
Jul 1910 - 30 Jan 2000
Winding through the hills
and valleys
Through wood lot and pasture
land,
Flows the beautiful Muskegon,
Fairest river in the land.
Time dimmed trails along
the shore line
Tell us that in days of
old
There a chieftain may
have wandered
Or a princess may have
strolled.
Some other trails, dim
and moss grown
Long ago were logging
roads
Where river men in days
gone by,
Hauled their many heavy
loads.
The river men are long
since gone
And the loggings days
are too.
But now, as though in
memory
Sweet violets bloom so
blue.
The violets bloom and
wither
As the seasons come and
go
But the river just keeps
going
Never pausing in its flow.
Ever onward through the
ages
Lovely river grace our
land.
Gift of beauty, the Muskegon,
Work of art by God's own
hand.
