Genealogy & Research |

Our Society was founded in 1967 with the mission of preserving and protecting objects once used by Calumet County’s hard working people. To achieve this goal, a museum was built to display and store the items. In the last several years we have had a number of requests to supply information on the ancestry and people of Calumet County. We have tried, when possible, to help in this research. But we are not a research society and given that we are also a small, volunteer museum we just don’t have the manpower or assets needed to trace ancestor’s lives. This does not mean that we aren’t willing to try to help but, honestly we aren’t able to put many resources into the work.
Having said this, we do have some people in our membership that are willing to try to help if they can. We can take requests you have and send them out to our membership. When members have information, they will add details to help you on your genealogy quest. Our group is also starting to digitally document our objects and capturing names that is now searchable. If you see something that might help you please use the link below and let us know the Object # of the article. Our documentation is growing slowly, but steadily so stop back and check what we have.
We hope to be able to do more as we grow and get more people interested in helping, but at this time this is the best we can do “Some societies have things to dust and some have things to file.” For the time being, we have a lot of dusting to do! |

Please note that if there are no result in the search below that we will have any information available at this time. |
