The Northeast Michigan Genealogical Society (NEMGS) is a non-profit organization based in Alpena, Michigan. Founded in 1993, the society’s mission is to promote genealogical research and to collect, preserve, and share genealogical data and records from the northeast Michigan area.

NEMGS offers a wide variety of resources and services to assist genealogists in their research. The society’s library contains a wealth of historical and genealogical resources such as books, documents, maps, microfilm, and indexes. The library, located at the Alpena County Library, is open to the public and free of charge.

The society also offers educational programs and workshops to help members learn more about genealogy. Additionally, NEMGS publishes a quarterly newsletter, The North Star, which features articles about local history and genealogy, book reviews, and other helpful information.

In addition to the library and newsletter, NEMGS is actively involved in the preservation of local history. The society has conducted numerous cemetery surveys, as well as many other history-related projects. It also maintains an extensive collection of historical photographs, documents, and other artifacts.

NEMGS is actively involved in the genealogy community, attending local and regional events, contributing to genealogical publications, and working with other genealogical organizations. It also participates in community service projects, such as the Alpena County Genealogical Society’s annual “Ancestor Mapping” project.

NEMGS strives to make genealogy a fun and rewarding activity for everyone. Whether you’re just starting out or an experienced genealogist, NEMGS is here to provide support and resources for all your genealogical needs.

Alpena's Channel Light <i>Here's the October photo from my 2022 calendar for family and friends.</i> Seven years ago today my Flickr and Facebook friend Ted Fines was speaking at the library in Harrisville, Michigan, which was hosting an exhibition of his images. I figured this would be a good chance to finally meet him after many years of admiring his photos. <i>It was.</i> More: It would be my first real excursion in my then-brand-new Mustang. This would also be my first trip up Michigan's eastern shore (the locals call it the Sunrise Side). I'd spent the night in Tawas City, where I photographed <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jowo/49972706338/">a splendid sunset</a> and tried to photograph the remains of the dock at Alabaster. With time to waste in the morning I headed up M-23 and toured Oscoda, found the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jowo/22436859566/">Sturgeon Point Light</a>, and made my way to Alpena, where I took this photo. I also toured the state park in Harrisville, and liked it enough that Joan and I camped there the next summer. <i>Ted's talk was worth the trip. After that I chatted a bit with him, with his wife Chris, and with other attendees. Then I headed home. The new car did well, but I was beginning to figure out that Ford's navigation system was pretty frustrating.</i>

Old Presque Isle Light From Wikipedia: "The Old Presque Isle Light was the first lighthouse in the Presque Isle, Michigan area, built in 1840, supported physically by two-thirds stone and one-third brick, and supported financially by funds appropriated by Congress two years earlier of $5,000. The tower and dwelling did not last long in the harsh weather, however, and by 1867 they were deteriorated enough for Congress to find need for a newer station."
