Guess What? Today -- August 30, 2015 -- is the Second Anniversary of this Blog

This blog/website is two years old today! Boy, does time fly by.

There have been 167 posts (168 if you count this one) since we started.

And, at the time of this post, 11,973 visits. (So close to 12,000 that perhaps we will hit that number today or tomorrow anyways.) We know that number of visits would be higher if all the different ways people visit our posts and blog-site were counted in that total. So whether you're counted or not, we appreciate you taking the time to read our blog.

Thank you!

There is more to come so keep reading.

See you soon at the Mt. Clemens Public Library!

Mt Clemens Public Library Receives Proclamation from Governor and Donation from MCGG

Don Worrell (left) accepts the proclamation.

Today was the Mount Clemens Public Library's 150th Birthday Fun Fest. 

It was hot, it was fun and during the event our favorite library received two things. First, a proclamation from the state governor recognizing the library's 150th year was presented to Don Worrell, library director. And then a large donation from the Macomb County Genealogy Group to support the library's local history and genealogy room was presented to Don for the library by Ann Faulkner of MCGG. Thank you MCGG members for making this donation possible.

For those that could not attend today, here are just a few pictures from today.

There was live music ...

... a fire engine (with hats) and face painting for the kids ...

... lots of cake and food ...

... our Ann Faulkner surprising Don Worrell with our gift ..

... and we think a good time was had by all.

Almost didn't recognize our favorite assistant library director, Debbie.

See you soon at Mt. Clemens Public Library!

Hi Everyone -- Welcome to Our 40th Year!

2013 

Can you believe summer is almost over?

For us at the Macomb County Genealogy Group it means it is time for another season/year of genealogy. And this year it is also our 40th Anniversary! 

Can you believe that?

The board has been planning throughout the summer and we hope everyone enjoys the programs we have planned and the anniversary dinner.

This year we have also added a few more ways to keep in touch with our members besides through occasional emails and our Rootsweb website (operated since 2007).

Earlier this year we joined Facebook. So if you are on Facebook, find us, friend and like us. And this month we have launched our own blog. So if you use feed reader, add us to hear it first.

These are additional tools for us to communicate with you but don't worry our occasional emails and our website on Rootsweb are not going away. (Yes, we know not everyone is on Facebook or up on all the technology out there.)

Besides now having the blog page to communicate, the blog site also repeats some of the pages (like our schedules) from our website. For the webpages not repeated on the blog pages, there are links back to our Rootsweb website.

So we hope to see you soon at our MCGG Friday Group and Let's Talk...Genealogy Wednesday evening meetings!
