Hi Myra!
I finally today called the library in Alcona. They said they will check for me, to see what they have.
What is NEMGS? Yes, Mrs Orin is one of mine. Any Galpin from that area is mine. I also have Graves, Parker,and Brown in that area.
Right now I have a few things driving me bannanas. In short, William Parker went to work on a dam one day and was never seen or heard from again. I need to find out if they filed a missing persons report to see if that family story is true. If it is true the cops should have been involved some way. This supposedly happened in the year 1920 or early 1921.
Ozen Galpin --Sr. died in Oct of 1957. I have been to his gravesite in Glennie and saw his headstone. It reads Ozen Galpin, yet the Glennie Cemetery book and the cemetery records say that a Ben is buried there. Who is Ben? I have never heard of him.
The records I have, not sure exactly where I got them (shame on me), state that Ozen Galpin --Sr.
died in Alcona County. I was at Alcona County court house about a month ago and they say they have no record of him dieing in that county! So I need to find his obit also.
This genealogy stuff can sure get frustrating and definetly time consuming.
