I just discovered that my emails aren't always getting through. So I will try again. According to an obit, some of my MacDonald line who died in Illinois were sent back to Houghton (town, I believe) to be buried. Does anyone know what cemetery that might have been and how I might get information? The wife was Laura MacDonald, who married Garrett Johnston. I believe that both were from Houghton area. Also, is it still $8.00 to order a B.C. (for the above) or has the price gone up. TIA Marion Markham

Hi, One option is to call every cemetery in Houghton county and see if they have your names on a burial list. Here is the court house information: Houghton County Vital Records OfficeHoughton County Clerk 401 East Houghton Avenue Houghton, MI 49931 (906) 482-1150 Houghton County Historical Museum Society Highway M-26 Lake Linden, MI 49945 Rec Type Cost Dates Form Remarks Birth $8.00 1867 to present only available to person on record, parents of registrant, legal guardian, legal representative or an heir.

Alicia, Thanks. I was hoping that there was a cemetery connected with the town of Houghton. I suspect they may actually have lived in Hancock.
