I am trying to do my family history from Az and I, and my relatives are from MI. Crissey, my fathers family came from NJ to Ohio to Michigan to Maryland then back to Michigan. My gr-grandfather was George Clark Crissey. He married my gr-grandmother Cinda King in Ohio where they had at least 2, possably 3 of their children. They had the rest of the children in MI. George Crissey appears on the 1894 list of soldiers,sailors and Marines in Livingston Twp.
After returning to MI my father met and Married Cloella Failes d/o Theodore Failes and Laura Slagel. Her Parents were Joseph Slagel and Henrietta Long. I have a lot of information on the Slagel family. I am not doing so well with Theodore Failes and his Family. He is the child of Edward Failes and Margaret Walters. They had several children. Patrick m Christina,William, m.Minnie, Damin, Richard never married was killed, Edward, Ira m. Sadie, Anna Belle m. William, Irene, and Theodore being the youngest born 1870. If any one has information on any of these people I sure would like to hear from you. I will be more than glad to share what information I have. Thanks in advance.
