Through battle, death, defeat and victory, Michigan men like Daniel Crotty and the men of the Third Michigan Infantry rallied to their regiment's flags. Bullets shredded the banners. Blood stained their folds. Yet more than 160 of these flags survive. Presented to regiments on behalf of their communities, flags represented home as well as the fight for the Union. In battle the large brilliantly colored banners marked the position of each unit--and made the flag bearers targets of enemy fire. After the Civil War, the battle flags came to symbolize the sacrifice of war. In 1866, when many of Michigan's flags were returned to the state, Governor Henry Crapo promised the veterans that their flags would "not be forgotten and their histories left unwritten." When the state opened its new Capitol in 1879, the flags had a place of honor. Today citizens from Michigan and beyond contribute to their conservation and preservation. The battle flags are cared for by a unique partnership between the Michigan Historical Museum and the Michigan Capitol Committee. Rally Round the Flags exhibited 56 battle flags at the Michigan Historical Museum from June 1996 through May 1997. Although the exhibit has been taken down, you may now view the flags and other scenes from the exhibit on the Michigan Historical Center Web site.

Migrations was conceived on February 8, 1999 when Patrick Hays coded the first Migrations pages for Custer and Fremont Cos., CO and Hancock Co., KY, which were modeled on the VA Gen Web Migrations Project. There had been a gaping hole in this area of genealogy, and he figured somebody should do something about it. From there, within days the Colorado and Kentucky state Migration pages were coded with the idea of linking up all of the states and making it nationwide. In October, he started a Migrations Project in Michigan and started linking to both US Gen Web and ALHN. Because of the teamwork of the volunteers from both of those projects, everything started to pick up speed. After several days of negotiations, the Domain name was purchased on October 30, 1999, and coding was begun on the projects national database. If your immigrant, emigrant, migrant relatives are not there yet, submit them NOW!
