Somehow, Scott, you make it soubd so easy. Why is it that I spend so much time and make so little progress?
A lot of people have written up a lot of articles/books on Calkins family history. Just what is of particular interest to you probably depends on what line you follow. I would suggest to start that you try your library for a copy of Frances Manwaring Caulkins' "History of New London, CT", and the same author on Norwich, CT.These are focussed on the respective towns, butbthere is a lot on family history,too.
On genealogy, the database of the Calkins Family Association does not list a Michael Lee Calkins.One reason might be that, assuming he was born in the 1900's he is more than 10 generations removed from the immigrants Hugh and Ann Calkins.If you could take the line back a couple of generations, with some dates, places, and names of spouses, we would have a better chance.
