The Great Lakes Region of the United States is an area with a rich and diverse history. This course will focus on generalized and locality specific resources of six states in this area--Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin. These six states once formed, in part, the first possession of the United States known as the "Northwest Territory." A summary of each state's history and geography will be provided, as well as tips on where to find important genealogical resources (such as census, land, probate, and vital records). A brief discussion of important Canadian records will also be included.
