County Society of History & Genealogy Newaygo
County Society of History & Genealogy
The mission of NCSHG is to preserve Newaygo County's
historical and genealogical materials for
future generations through conservation, education, research and restoration.
| Board of Directors | 06/18/2008 The Society was formed in 1966 to assist in the preservation of the history and genealogical records of Newaygo County. It is a non-profit organization. The NCSHG currently maintains several collections of genealogical materials at various libraries in the county. We are keepers of Saint Mary's Church in Croton, Michigan. St. Mary's Church was constructed in 1853, the first church of any denomination to be built in Newaygo County. The Society has gathered much information over the years and compiled it into books for all to enjoy. We have plans to review our purpose and direction and find new opportunities in the county to continue to cultivate and record our rich history. Please see the list to the left for information about us. Look at "Books for Sale" to read about our new History and Biography Book. See "Events" for our list of upcoming Events for the Society
Society Meetings The Society meets the 2nd Saturday of each month at 9:30-11:00 for the Board of Directors meeting. The Regular Membership meeting begins at 11:00am. Meetings are held at the Commission on Aging building on Gibbs Street in White Cloud. The Board has voted to disband the Board and Regular meeting for July in 2008. We use Saint Mary's Church in Croton Township for our September meeting. That meeting is held on the second Sunday at 3:00pm with hymns and history.
