Good Morning Again MichLibL, Several libraries asked me to compile and share answers to my earlier question. Please find the compilation attached. I really liked the genealogy resources listed on Sherman Township Library's site and am planning to do something similar for Coloma: http://shermantwplib.weebly.com/genealogy.html. Good luck to everyone, Mary Mary Jean Harrison Director Coloma Public Library 151 W. Center Street PO Box 430 Coloma Michigan 49083 269-468-3431 www.colomapubliclibrary.net <http://www.colomapubliclibrary.net/> The most important asset of any library goes home at night - the library staff.

Our patrons apparently got used to using it at home in the last couple of years. We had respectable numbers before the pandemic, but not so much anymore. Does MyHeritage serve your patrons' genealogy needs? We like the fact that it's free to us through Mel eLibrary. We would be grateful for any feedback you can provide about either Ancestry or MyHeritage. Mary Jean Harrison Director Coloma Public Library 151 W.
