ABOUT US
The Northville Genealogical Society was organized on 24 June 1987 and
meets in downtown Northville. We meet at 1:15 for Genealogy Roundtable
Discussions, followed by the general meeting at 2:30 p.m.
Meetings are held on the second Sunday of the month (unless noted) in the Carlos Meeting Room of the Northville District Library (212 W. Cady Street, 248-349-3020). We warmly welcome visitors and prospective new members.
NORTHVILLE OBITS
Names and death dates are listed for persons who are Northville residents or have Northville roots. There are obituaries on file. You may request a scanned copy of an obit to be emailed for a $5.00 fee or a snail-mail copy with a self-addressed, stamped envelope for a $5.00 fee.
Please send your check and choice of emailed obit or snail-mail copy with your contact information (email or address and phone number) to the address in the sidebar. After your check is received, your obit will be sent. This is an ongoing project.
