Can anyone tell me where the Ontonagon Genealogy Society is located in Ontonagon??? I'm planning a visit but am not exactly sure where they are nor what to expect in the way of material.

Deb,

This may be of some help.

I have a Burke famliy ties is Ontonagon County. The two that I am aware of is Sarah Burke and Anna Burke (Sutton). Sarah was born in County (King)Offaly Ireland around 1842. Anna may have been a sister-in-law or a sister. I'm not really sure. Sarah sent her second child to live with Anna after Sarah's husband abandoned them.

Sorry, they are not part of my Birk/Burk family. My Birk/Burk family came from Germany.
