WELCOME TO ST. CLAIR COUNTY GENEALOGY & HISTORY SOCIETY
WHAT'S NEW?
Our Society is now fully open to the public again! It has been a long journey sense COVID, but we have come out of it with more knowledge then when we went in. With that we are changing a few things in our Society; Zoom programs will continue but for members only. We also have decided to put a cost on mailed newsletters so check out our updated Membership Form on this cost. We want to remind everyone to check out the Event page for upcoming programs. We are still available through email, and our Facebook page for any questions you need.
Thanks you
SCCGHS Board of Directors

Fred was the Mayor of Yale for 3 years, St. Clair County Drain Commissioner for 12 years, and then worked for an engineering firm. He also has co-founded several environmental groups and worked for the Michigan Nature Association. He’s a graduate of Albion College, majoring in English Literature.
When he was laid off from the engineering firm during the COVID pandemic in 2020, he decided to switch careers and do something he really loved, involving history and genealogy. He took an online course from Boston University in genealogical research and then started his own business, Huron Genealogical Services.
He promises to share some good tips for research and some cool stories!
