Morning Terese!
I will email you directly and give you the info I have (Jeanne & I are related through Michael Howard (b. 1804). His eldest son John is my great great grandfather. John had 5 children (Alice (who died at age 8 in Green Oak, Livingston Co. MI and is buried at St. Patrick's in Brighton)Frank (Jeanne'grandfather), Louis, Emmett (my great great grandfather) and Cecilia). John and family left Michigan, went to Seattle, and settled in Petaluma, CA which is north of San Francisco. I also have a photo of your William's head stone in St. Patrick's Cemetery in Northfield.
Where in Michigan are you and how many Howard relations are there?
