The Bradstreet Family in Michigan descended from two pioneer farmers, brothers who migrated to Michigan in 1876. They had previously staked claims in Nebraska, but after three years in which locust plagues had wiped out their efforts, they moved to southern Michigan and started over. They were both to become successful farmers, and they and their children prospered in Michigan. If you live in Michigan and you have a Bradstreet in your ancestry, chances are pretty good you are part of this family. This is the story of William and George Bradstreet, their descendants and their ancestors. It is a story of faith and pursuing the American dream.
