In January of 1998 the Delta County Genealogical Society launched a Pioneer Certificate project, in which individuals who are descendants of Delta County Pioneers were encouraged to put together their family history and submit it to the society for a pioneer certificate. Applicants did not need to reside in Delta County to apply. This Pioneer Project concluded in the summer of 1999. Over 100 applications were received and over 300 certificates were presented to the descendant families. All documents and records gathered during this project are indexed, cataloged and filed with the society holdings in the Escanaba Public Library and are available to the public.
The following index was created from the pedigree charts for the pioneers that were submitted by the applicants. This index includes the surname and the file number in which that name is mentioned. Some surnames are found in more than one file. More information about a family may be obtained by either searching these files or placing a request that they be searched for you. There is a nominal fee for the cost of copies.
