*In 1951, the
Review Newspaper
celebrated its Diamond Jubilee (75th Anniversary). On this occasion,
the Review asked its readers to submit the history of their family or
business for publication in this special 38 page edition. This 1951
edition has been much sought after by family historians and we are
pleased to announce that it is now available on CD for everyone to enjoy.
Please note: not all of the CDs listed above contain every weekly
publication. Each CD (except where noted) contains 6 months of the year
i.e. Jan-Jun and July-Dec; this allows persons to buy only half of a
particular year.
To purchase CDs by mail, please specify the year and the number of CDs.
For additional information contact Laurel Emerson (586) 727-3001 or send email Laurel

Bricks for the Pocket Park
Memorial
bricks for the pocket park can be purchased by individuals to honor
a loved one or by corporations. The bricks come in two sizes: small and
large. The small bricks are $30.00, the large ones are $100. If you

Ancestral Certificates
In order to fulfill the Society’s mission to honor and remember those who cleared the land, grew the crops, educated the young, and pay homage to those who fought in the wars and sacrificed their lives for something they believed in, Ancestral Certificates have been designed for your use upon completion of the Ancestral Certificate Application.
Four certificates are currently available:
· Trailblazer (arrived in the area prior to Michigan Statehood (31 Dec 1837)
· Pioneer (1839-1870)
· Settler (1871-1904)
· Builder (1904-1937)
It is the Society’s desire to encourage basic knowledge of genealogical research and of the area’s rich history.
