Get your family bible scanned and it will be archived forever!

DAR to Hold Genealogy Day and Bible Records Scanning in Clare

The event will take place from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 25 at the Pere Marquette District Library in Clare.

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States of America, the Michilimacinac Chapter, DAR in Clare, and the Central Michigan Chapter of MISSAR (SAR) are excited to present a Genealogy Day and Bible Records Scanning opportunity for anyone in interested in researching their family tree.

If you have a family bible published before 1926, DAR members would like to scan the family records such as birth, marriage and deaths. The scans will become part of the DAR national library collection through their Bible Records database and will then be available for public and DAR research. A copy of the scan/photo will be provided to the owner of the Bible if requested.
The Daughters of the American Revolution and the Sons of the American Revolution are lineage societies documenting family lines back to participants opposing British rule in North American between 1775 and 1783.
If you believe you have an American Revolutionary Patriot in your family history, DAR and SAR members will assist you in researching that Patriot to determine if that Patriot has been identified. Appointments are requested for Patriot research by contacting midarregistrar@gmail.com.

Our local cemeteries are being cared for and we couldn't be happier!

Cleaning the headstones has been not only a journey but a true honor. This quiet little cemetery is so peaceful and serene.... surrounded by nothing but farm...

We are saddened by the loss of past member Kathleen. She had a lot of passion for genealogy and local history. Her efforts on the Clare County cemetery project were significant and meaningful.

Share Memories and Support the Family.

Sadly, we have a lost a member of our society. Judy had a great passion for her own ancestors and was so helpful to anyone who needed her help, particularly with Poland and surrounding countries. May she have all her ancestral questions now answered. She will be missed very much.

The Book of Memories is made available to all families we serve as well as any family served by any other funeral home in our community.
