Flooding at the Water Works Bridge in Kalamazoo, March 26, 1904. That spring, the water got 6″ higher than the photo shows.
The Family Kalamazoo is my family history blog, which is about the genealogy of my mother’s family, especially the DeKorn, Zuidweg, and Mulder families of southwestern Michigan. I share old photographs, many taken by family photographer Joseph DeKorn. Years ago, my grandfather Adrian Zuidweg shared a portion of the collection with Western Michigan University‘s Archives and Regional History Collections. A larger part is not at the archives, and my goal is to share the rest of the collection on this blog.
Entering the Pale is my family history blog about my husband’s relatives who immigrated to the United States from the Russian Empire “beyond the pale.”
