Monroe CountyIn March and April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized
the Michigan Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide a single
entry point for all counties in Michigan, where collected databases would be
stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so that
even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located
in the index.
At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate
the collection of databases and generally over see the contents of the web
page. My name is Bryan Taylor and
I'm responsible for Monroe county. Please contact me if you would like to
contribute to this database.

to host a Michigan county, please contact Jan Cortez
Monroe County originally Frenchtown created in 1785, and was founded and renamed
Monroe on 14 July 1817. Named after President James Monroe, who paid the
Michigan Territory a visit in 1817. At this time Toledo was part of Monroe
County, but later lost during what is known as the 1835 Toledo War, where Ohio
and Michigan fought over a 500 square mile strip of land that included the
mouth of the Maumee River. As an exchange, Michigan got the Upper Peninsula,
which then was considered a wilderness.
