Genealogy  information: St. Joseph has birth and marriage records dating back to October 1850 and death records dating back to the fall of 1870.  The whereabouts of St. Joseph Cemetery records are unknown.  Anyone who was buried in St. Joseph Cemetery was most likely moved to Calvary Cemetery in Kawkawlin, MI.  If the family had a headstone, they may have been moved to Oak Ridge Cemetery.

After 1870, the area where the family lived would indicate which church they would have attended.  People were required to attend the church in the neighborhood where they lived.  However, not all followed this rule.
