Marquette – “Sisu Stories: Who Are You? Discovering Family Histories” will be held on Wednesday, April 12 at 6:30 p.m. in J.M. Longyear Library at the Marquette Regional History Center, 145 W. Spring Street in Marquette.
In September 2016, the MRHC held two digitization events to document local history and create a digital repository. This celebration will be an opportunity for the public to see what was received, including wood carvings, miners’ headlamps, photos and more! Discover some interesting family histories from Marquette County, featuring materials from the Sisu Stories digitization grant.
The second half of the program will solve genealogy mysteries from several local families including a missing child and an Ishpeming miner turned confectioner. Learn about genealogy research at the Longyear Library.
