    Vol. 4 No. 4 Inside this issue Page 3 Library of Michigan Staff Across the State Page 7 The Dangers of Not Having a Will Page 9 Archives of Michigan Image of the Month nother active year is winding down. The staff of the Library of Michigan would like to wish every- one happy holidays and a blessed New Year. The Library’s family history section has developed Ainto a national resource because of the support of Michigan’s genealogical community. We would not be what we are without your continued support. Please know that we truly appreciate your advocacy. Michigan is faced with a challenging financial situation, but rest assured that the Library of Michigan’s Abrams Foundation Historical Collection of genealogy materials will continue to grow and prosper. We are committed to providing the best service possible to our loyal researchers. The holiday season is a time that brings families together. It is hard to imagine a better time to gather family history information. Heck, chances are you have a captive audience … If your family is anything like mine, the holidays are a time to gather, reminisce and swap stories. Some of the stories are even true. I have not been very successful at converting my parents, siblings or any other relatives to the genealogy cause, but boy do they like to talk. The holidays always provide me with a chance to revisit roadblocks and chat with relatives that I don’t get to talk to on a regular basis. Their insight is often just what I need to smash through a nagging research obstacle.

Several years ago, I took up gardening and still enjoy planning, planting, nurturing, re-arranging, trading, anticipating, watching things grow, pruning, ridding pests, and wedging dirt under my fingernails. It’s therapeutic. Working in a library, I find we are much like gardeners (and occasionally get just as dirty). We spend our days planning programs, nurturing young (and sometimes not so young) minds, watching our collections grow, and weeding materials from the stacks. For those of us who allow food and drink in our libraries, we sometimes even have to rid our buildings of pests! We’re now spending a few days in Grand Rapids, home of the lovely Meijer Gardens among other great amenities. I hope that you may take some time before or after the conference to visit some of the area museums and other attractions. Many are offering conference goers discounts on admission prices if we show our badges. (See page 5 for more details.) I wish to convey my gratitude to the many sponsors who have given so generously Michael McGuire to MLA. Their logos, sponsorship acknowledgments, and advertisements appear PRESIDENT, MICHIGAN LIBRARY throughout this program. Our conference would not be such a success without them. ASSOCIATION My thanks go to the staff of the Grand Rapids Public Library for hosting our All- 2005–2006 Conference Reception on Wednesday evening.

More and more “good”things have been Aadded to the collection, attendance at our workshops is up and our staff continues to go the extra mile to assist patrons with their research. I am also excited about the new year and all of the challenges and opportunities that it presents each and every one of us. Spending time with family members over the holidays also helped to reinforce my strong beliefs concerning the importance of doing family history.The Library of Michigan continues to place a heavy emphasis on strengthening our family history collection and offering more opportunities for researchers to locate their long-lost ancestors. Take advantage of the various programs and services we have to offer. The Library of Michigan truly is the Michigan citizens’ library. Anyone who has spent much time actually doing family history research has been asked at one time or another,“Why is family history so important to you?” As my family gathered together during the holiday season, the question came up on several occasions. People want to understand why we spend so much time chasing down lost ancestors.
