Macomb County Funeral Home Master Index

If you have not used the Macomb County Funeral Home Master Index http://offserv.libcoop.net/mtc/funeralhomes.asp , you might be pleasantly surprised. There are now over 92,500 names in this index, including many from Oakland and Wayne Counties, as many of these Funeral Homes originated in those counties. These abstracted records, available at the Mount Clemens Public Library usually give the date and place of birth and death, place of burial, name of parents, and spouse, and sometimes other information.

Mt. Olivet and Mt. Elliott Cemetery index now online

The Mount Elliott Cemetery Association - Many of their burial records have been converted to an electronic database and some information may be available online. http://www.mtelliott.com/genealogy

Happy New Year!

Let's start the new year right. Please comment on your favorite database for online genealogy. I am more and more impressed with the new databases being posted for free by the LDS church. Check them out at: http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start
