Welcome to the 

Livingston County Michigan History & Genealogy Project

Hosted by: www.USGenNet.org
The 1st & Only 501c3 Host for Genealogical & Historical Sites
Totally supported by donations.
Please see support info below.

     USGenNet is a Nonprofit Idaho Corporation (C 124878) and was incorporated July 17, 1998. We obtained US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Tax Exempt Status 501(c)(3) on January 18, 2000.

     USGenNet's financial needs are increasing! As USGenNet-hosted websites continue to add data, the cost of hosting websites increases. USGenNet has reached a critical point where we need to add additional space, and that will almost double our hosting costs. We need your support now more than ever!

    Because so many have asked me why I am no longer linked to MIGenWeb and for those of you who do not know, but the

is in no longer affiliated with USGenWeb. I tired of the political nature of the whole process. This is NOT what we desired at the beginning for USGenWeb. During several disputes, even contacting the AB for help against a state coordinator that failed to cooperate with several county coordinators that also left MIGenWeb, they never even responded. :((

     Keep in mind I did NOT quit MIGenWeb, Jan Cortez illegally de-linked me without cause! She has done the same to several others and is now in the process of trying to rid herself of yet another county that she does not like the coordinator. I recently found out that she is also trying to take over the discussion lists so she can control those too. 

     I am pleased to be affiliated with the American History & Genealogy Project and the American Local History Network which IMHO are much more like the original project that was started so long ago.

     This site is NOT going to disappear, it will continue as always.  It will continue to offer the very best materials for Livingston County MI. The url is not changing, people WILL know how to find the site, of that I am sure. 

     Sadly due to the collusion of a few people especially Jan Cortez in the former group that I was affiliated with did not understand that a 501(c)(3) is a NON-PROFIT entity and no one by law is entitled to any funds raised by such entity. As a result she did everything in her power to get rid of me and others that have already left that group. To read the entire story, click here.
