[Genealib] new Pinckney, Michigan history book

[Claire Kluskens]

Dear colleagues:

I read information about this book in the most recent issue of the  
Livingston Co. (Michigan) Genealogical Society's newsletter. I have  
not personally seen the book and was not involved it in any way but  
thought some of you would be interested.
