It's Paris, Kent, Michigan, USA, just southeast of Grand Rapids. Apparently, it was very popular with N.Y. transfers when folks started handing out land patents. I'm tracking VanAmburgs, Pattersons, Spauldings and Cooks, all NY to SE Michigan to Kent. #genealogy #ancestry #familyresearch #history

Thanks everyone for your input. I don't really need some of the features like the tree checker, since for me Ancestry's tree is kind of downstream from my MacFamilyTree software. But, I am dipping my toe into DNA after waffling about it for many years. Document enthusiast learning new things.

Good gracious I want an edit button. I even corrected the misspelling and it somehow posted with it. 🤪

I think that’s the most thorough birth announcement I’ve ever seen. The henealogy happy dance is in order.

If you’re researching in Lenawee County, have you run across the family of Lorenzo L. Brown? One of my lines married into his family in Lenawee in the 1860s.

He’s in Wayne or Wastenaw around 1831ish, then Kent around 1836. Patented in Kent. When I joined the Michigan Genealogical Council, I started digging through my tree for pre-statehood people, and he’s the only one I have found so far. I have a lot of folks that get here in the 1850s and 60s.
