My great grandfather spent some time as a sureyor in The UP immediately after returning from WWI. He rode an old Indian all over the up there and was also a photographer so he took some great photos that are now mostly in museums.
My great great grandparents came to Michigan from Cornwall, England and Germany to lead the copper mine crews in Houghton/Hancock. Still have kin up there with the same last names. Hoping to make it up there next year for the first time ever and explore my ancestry.
