History of the society

  • In November 1982, 12 family historians met and established the Huron Shores genealogical Society.  Meetings were held monthly in the Oscoda Township hall, since then meetings have been held at various places in Oscoda and East Tawas, Michigan.  Space was provided in the Iosco-Arenac Regional Library to house the Society’s papers and records collection.  The Society began to add regularly to their book collection and added microfilm. They also had a small collection of books in the Oscoda Township library.  The library moved to the present location at the Robert Parks Library, Oscoda, Michigan in 1993.  The additional space has allowed our resources to grow and now includes microfilm reader/printers, computers, books, microfilm and videos.  We also have an archives facility on the Air Base to store items we don’t have room for in the library. We answer hundreds of queries and assist many walk ins with their family history. 1992 saw the publication of our first index.  This was the beginning of a project that has added over 1000 indexes and over 1 million names to many local resources and has become a staple of our society. These were first printed, bound and sold to various libraries and individuals.  In 2000 we began posting them on the internet through the US GenWeb project, http://www.usgwarchives.net/mi/iosco/3501hsgs.htm.    We have indexers in numerous states working on newspapers, census records, gazetteers, and local histories.  We have been told over the years that these indexes are a blessing to anyone researching this area and they wished other places had such a wonderful resource.
  • 2015 saw the beginning of our newspaper digitizing project. We are digitizing the Tawas Herald and the available ones are on the Iosco-Arenac District Library web site, https://www.ioscoarenaclibrary.org/HSGS/Tawas_Herald_1884-1952/
  • Our educational programs are looked forward to by many in Northeast Michigan and draw attendees from as far as 150 miles from Oscoda, Michigan. We present programs on various topics, bringing in speakers from around the country. We also have cemetery walks, inviting family members of the featured burials to share family memories.
