The Mid-Michigan Genealogical Society has published a book with an unusual title: Shopkeepers, Soldiers, Statesmen and One Naked Lady. William A. Atkinson, a historian and co-editor of the book, said readers will find short histories on “old Lansing families, but not well published families.” “These are names that are not on the tips of everyone’s tongues,” he said.
Eighteen people worked in multiple teams to create the combination of 31 family and organizational (two churches, one sanatorium and the Daughters of the American Revolution are also detailed) histories.

You can read more in an online book review written by Bill Castanier and published in the CityPulse web site at http://www.lansingcitypulse.com/lansing/article-3708-family-ties.html. And, yes, the name of the naked lady is revealed. Was that YOUR great-great-grandmother?
