Thank you all for all of the wonderful advice. This thread will also be great for all future visitors to the Houghton area. I'll be sure to call ahead to the court house. By chance, does anyone know if Ryan Funeral Home is still in operation? I was in contact with them a couple of years ago, but their e-mail address does not seem to work anymore. It seems that they were my familiy's funeral home of choice and I would like to contact to inquire about obtaining some additional records from them. Thanks Again!
