This spreadsheet lists individuals who were associated with the Michigan Street Baptist Church (MSBC) in the 19th century, plus individuals who lived in the vicinity of the MSBC, according to the 1850 & 1860 federal censuses. It was compiled in 2013 by Dr. Judith Wellman; Tanya Warren; Crawford & Stearns Architects; and Historical New York Research Associates as an appendix to the Michigan Street Baptist Church Historic Structure Report. Their report is available only in hard copy at 3 Buffalo libraries. We are grateful to Dr. Wellman for sharing this spreadsheet with us.
