1880 History Of Livingston County
This 462 page book is great. It took almost a year, but with over 25,000 various page references and tons of images that may lead to that missing piece of the family tree! Index courtesy of Milt Charboneau. A newly completed redo of this book was finished October 2004 to make it easier to search, and the images included quicker to download.

I just found this site and it is beautifully done. There are a number of references to Livingston County MI included within the site, so go and enjoy while learning a bit more history about this area. I am in the process of adding a number of pages and photographs about Livingston County's own Poor Farm.

This neat image, that was drawn by D. D. Morse of the Village of Howell looking Southwest is a true delight. Although I cannot figure out where some of today's streets went, it is really fun to look at the old buildings and such. It was copied for the site by one of the best historians of the county, and a mainstay at the Howell Carnegie Library archives, Mr. Duane "Zemp" Zemper. We appreciate his courtesy in allowing us to include it on the website for your use.

1911 History of the Township & Village of Howell
by: A. Riley Crittenden
When doing the index there were multiple challenges! Over 2,500 names had
to be pulled from the chapters, sorted and then alphabetized! But boy,
now it will be so easy for you to see if your people are included. Make
sure that you read an entire letter in the index as the spelling in this
book is HORRIBLE!!!! Wonderful photos also!

Do you have a family member or ancestor who may have attended Howell High School in 1920? If so, and you need a picture of that person, click below to capture an image of that elusive branch on the tree. I found this portrait taken by Ludwig Studio in 1920 at the close out sale of Garland's, once one of the oldest business establishments in Howell. As they have retired, they had the foresight to put this picture in their window as I was walking by and the rest is history as they say! "grin"

This was a great work put together by three individuals well known to those who often visit this site, Dianne Richards, Linda Philburn and Kernie King. If you are searching materials for early Fowlerville then this is the part of the site for you. There are so few pieces of history on line for this farthest west town in the county that this has been a great help to those searching!
