This index is a compilation of the information in 3 indexes to periodicals compiled by Maud Quigley, and published by Western Michigan Genealogy Society between 1980 and 1985.

• Index to Hard-to-Find Information in Genealogical Periodicals
• Index to Michigan Research found in Genealogical Periodicals
• Index to Family Names in Genealogical Periodicals
• Key to Quigley Indexes

The links above go to a page that contains the Preface/Introduction from each of the 3 publications, and to a copy of the "Key" to these indexes. This is provided for historical information - the ordering instructions contained in these pages are NOT relevant to the online electronic index.

The computer index removes the need to figure out where a reference is from, and then separately looking up the address for them. The results returned from your search will show you the name of the publication, as well as the name and address of the publisher.

Unfortunately many of these publications indexed by Maud Quigley are now no longer available at the Grand Rapids Public Library, and to complicate matters it's not known exactly which ones are and aren't.

Western Michigan Genealogy Society is unable to offer any look up service for these publications. We suggest that you try Libraries such as the Library of Michigan in Lansing Michigan, or the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

 

Good Luck with your searches!!!
