I am looking for any information on the FLECK family.

Unfortunately, I have found no cemetery records either.

CUMMINGS, EASLICK, FRENCH, HUNTOON, MCCRACKEN, MUSCOTT, NEAL, OLDS, OSBORN, SMITH, THAYER posted by Ed Easlick on Sunday, January 4, 1998

Louis(sp) EASLICK, 16, appears in 1894 State Census, Lafayette Twp, with parents David and Caroline and with brothers Charley and Edward (my pop). What is strange about this is that Lewis(sp) EASLICK, b. 16 Sep 1877, in Leslie, died in Leslie Twp, Ingham Co. on 22 Nov 1882. Had he lived, he would have been about 16 in 1894. A possibility is that "Louis" and "Lewis" may have been twins but there is no family record of this. Anyone have an answer to this enigma?

GAILEY, MACKENZIE, MCKENZIE, ROBINSON posted by Allen Armstrong on Sunday, January 25, 1998

Any information on The Twin Brothers Cigar Company, in business through about 1947 and Joseph Wolfe MacKenzie and Elijah (Lyle) Marion MacKenzie, proprietors. Name sometimes spelled McKenzie. The MacKenzie twins were born April 24, 1872 in Ft. Wayne, IN. Joseph MacKenzie died July 24, 1926 in Alma, MI. Elijah (Lyle ) Marion MacKenzie died August 1, 1957 in Alma, MI. Lyle was married to Jesse Robinson.

There may be a divorce record for Joseph MacKenzie sometime about 1920-1922. He was married to Louise Gailey MacKenzie. How would I obtain copies of this record ? Joseph MacKenzie was also the paid Secretary of the Loyal order of Masons and was connected with the Masonic Lodge. Is there someone at the lodge I might write who would have access to records.

A sibling of Joseph and Lyle MacKenzie was Edward H. MacKenzie who died ( probably in Alma ) in 1958. Any information on him would be appreciated. Another sib;ing was Arthur A. MacKenzie, though I do not know whether he had an Alma connection.
Thanks
