For questions about ancestors and records in the US state of Michigan, including questions pertaining to the period before the state's admission to the US (1837) when it was French, later British, and then American territory.
Michigan is a state of the United States of America, located inland but with a long fresh-water coastline on the Great Lakes.
The land mass of the state consists of two peninsulas jutting into the lakes and connected only by a bridge. A province of Canada (Ontario) lies on the other side of the water.
Migration to Michigan has principally been internal after people entered the USA through one of the ocean ports.
