Make sure you check out the hours for MTU's archives because they vary. You should probably research at any churches your family attended. Call ahead to set up those appointments. I have yet to do that research myself. The secretary was not in when I was visiting. Tourist Site: The Quincy Mine tour. Great tour, not sure if they are open all year round. Hecla Cemetary...not much to see, but you are going in May which is good because it is very overgrown. Have fun. Wish I could get away to Houghton for more research.
