SCCGS Home | Join SCCGS | About SCCGS

The St. Clair County Genealogical Society begins a new project in 2008 to collect, preserve, and make available for genealogical purposes, Funeral Cards for any person whose birth or death occurred in the county.

The Collection will be indexed as it grows. The index will appear on this webpage and in the Society Quarterly, at which time copies may be requested as outlined below.
