My husband and I did a similar tour about 25 years ago, to Defiance, Ohio and Saginaw Michigan, the latter my mother's birthplace and the former my maternal grandmother's birthplace.

Both were great for getting a feel for the areas and cultures into which they were born and raised, as well as visits to churches and having dinner with an in-law still in the Saginaw area.
