Western Michigan Genealogical Society - Got Ancestors?! (Society Events)
Salvation Army Kroc Center, 2500 Division Ave S, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49507

Our speaker is Michael D. Lacopo DVM. Dr. Michael D. Lacopo was born and raised in northern Indiana surrounded by extended family always willing to tell tall tales. Intrigued by his maternal family’s claim to be kinfolk of Abraham Lincoln, and his paternal family’s stories of murder and mayhem, he took to genealogical research in 1980 to substantiate these family stories.
