Excellent resource for Huron County Genealogists

This collection of notebooks was donated to the Pigeon District Library by Mrs. Dryden (Joann) Haist, formerly of Pigeon. Mrs. Haist compiled the information over several years, using Pigeon newspapers from 1897 to 1980.Each Marriage notebook lists marriages in alphabetic order according to the groom's last name, except for the following names that are filed under the bride's last name because the groom's name was not available:Each sheet lists the publication date of the newspaper from which the information was taken, so you can read the original article if you wish to double check any information.One note of interest - some weddings are listed on a day of the week, without a date. Newspaper publication days changed over the years. From September 1897 to November 26, 1954, the publication day was Friday. Beginning on December 2, 1954, the publication day changed to Thursday. Since October 3, 2001, the publication day has been Wednesday.

Welcome!

If your heart calls Bay Port, Michigan home this will be like a family reunion for you. When you first arrive you may not know anyone. You've brought pictures that you hope someone can identify for you. Is that a picture of your great grandmother? Do these people share a bit of history with you? What was life like for your parents and grandparents in this community?
Please email pictures and stories to

P.S. My mother and father grew up in or near Bay Port. Their parents and grandparents were also from the area.

Long Dock

Long Dock
I grew up with stories about the long dock but, until recently, had never seen it. When the water levels began to recede several years ago, it became visible.
