History of Goodells   

Discuss Goodells and Wales Township history in the forum

I live in Goodells, Michigan.  Goodells was one of the first villages in Michigan, becoming incorporated in the 1830's.  A few years ago I was asked to do some research for our township (Wales) and prepare a presentation to be given at our township hall dedication.  Our hall turned 100 in 2000. 

Here are links to the pages I have currently on the internet.   There will be more to come so check back !!

These links will load images.  I left the images large so you could see them clearly.  This might be a pain for some, but for those whose family names are listed--especially on the plot maps--it is very important!
