YOUNGBLOOD posted by Walt Youngblood on Friday, January 23, 1998

I'm trying to locate a written genealogy on "The Youngblood Clan" written by Nettie YOUNGBLOOD. If you have any info or can direct me to someone who can help, I would appreciate it. Genealogy would be from the early 1900. My family roots can be traced back to southwesten Michigan, where the Youngbloods, De Moss's and Pollocks settled after coming from Preble County Ohio. I did not find any reference to them in any of the Cass County information. Do you have any detailed information on the early settlers of Cass County? If not, can you direct me to anyone who may be able to help. Also, do you want info on these early families of Cass county? Some of them also settled in Berrien County.
