OGEMAW GENEALOGICAL & HISTORICAL SOCIETY, |
Working in conjunction with the Ogemaw County Clerk's office, Society members have duplicated marriage and death
records and provide uncertified copies for a small fee.
Members have also compiled burial records for local Ogemaw cemeteries and are currently photographing
tombstones at area burial grounds. Members also help to clean and maintain abandoned early cemeteries.
Indexes are being compiled of the earliest newspapers (births, deaths and marriages), early county records,
and burials. The Society has also published several booklets: CIVIL WAR LETTERS (Written by Sgt. Major Charles
H. Church to his parents at Williamston, Michigan); ROSE CITY, MICHIGAN, 100 YEARS, 1905-2005 (a pictorial
history for the Centennial Celebration of that town's incorporation); PHEBE IN WONDERLAND (Written by Phebe Dunlap Cotton
and reprinted with photos---Her memories of growing up in Lupton, Michigan); NELL'S STORY OF LONG AGO (written by
Helen Migan--Memories of the Prescott area); LONE PINE FARM (written by Glendora McCracken Fitzgerald---growing
up in Lupton); and IMAGES OF AMERICA - OGEMAW COUNTY (published by Arcadia Publishing-a history and pictorial
representation of Ogemaw History)--also available is PRESCOTT COMMUNITY IN PIONEER HISTORY (written by Ervadeen Hosbach)--
all booklets are available through the Society.
Rose City Society members are also developing and maintaining the free Michigan GenWeb Ogemaw site on-line; and answer
questions when possible at several on-line genealogical message boards and by mail. Meetings are held April
through November on the second Tuesday of each month at the Lion's Club Log Cabin in Rose City Park, 110 North Williams Street, Rose
City. Yearly membership dues are $10.00. Please address any inquiries to: ROSE CITY AREA HISTORICAL SOCIETY, |
