The Michigan Historical Center does not intend that these pages be all-inclusive, but that they present a sample of Michiganians who have achieved national or international prominence.

Click on a category to see names, birthplaces and birthdates of some famous people born in Michigan. How many do you recognize? Can't find someone you think is famous? Check the "People Born Elsewhere" category.

Still can't find your favorite famous Michiganian? "Some Famous Michiganians" is a work in progress. Please send us an e-mail, if you would like to suggest a person for us to include.

If you suggest someone, include birthplace, birth/death date(s) and the source of your information in your message.

Let us know, too, if you find an error on these pages or if you can provide missing information.
