We have Good News for Macomb County Genealogy Researchers.
The Mount Clemens Public Library's Local History & Genealogy Department Local Indexes are back up and running on the library's website.
You will find the Indexes under the Local History Resources under the Local History & Genealogy under Areas of Service. Or use the link to the Indexes page here.
If you encounter a "refused to connect" error or an unhappy digital page face ...
... just refresh your browser page (that arrow in a circle just to the right of the back and forth page arrows) as that seems to fix the burp. (It is a large database index.)
The search interface is simple with just two options: Given Name and Surname. You do not have to fill both in -- just entering a surname works.
If you want to print the results list, just use your mouse or touchpad to highlight/select all of the results list and then print selection or print selection to PDF or after highlighting/selecting all of the results list copy/paste it into a word processing document.
The Obituary Index does not include additions made after the last time the index database was available on the library's prior website. At this time, the best practice to use the index is to search by Surname only to make sure you get a complete list of results.
Some minor issues are in the process of being resolved but users should be able to get what they need from the index.
The actual newspapers can be found on microfilm in the Local History & Genealogy Room or some of them can be found digitally on the Digital Michigan Newspapers Portal. We have a post on how to find the digitized newspapers here.
Good luck searching!
See you at our favorite library!
