Blue Water Michigan Family History Center

The Blue Water Family History Center (FHC) is a reference office with materials and a friendly staff on hand to provide assistance in using center resources to identify ancestors. FHC's give members and community patrons access to family history resources, such as FamilySearch and the church's circulating collection of microfimed genealogical records.
