Hello, and welcome! You have arrived at my Salem Township, Allegan Co., Michigan Genealogy Site. What, you may be asking, is this all about? At present it may not seem to be much, but given time, I hope to make it /the/ site to see for those of us out there with roots linked to this small part of Michigan.
I hope to offer online any and all source info I can get my hands on, such as birth, death, marriage and census records, as well as general history for Salem Township. My current offerings can be found under Resources below.
If you have any comments, questions, or feel you have something to add, please let me know. My email address is: jeamy@netpenny.net.
