The Detroit Society for Genealogical Research was organized on 20 September 1936, by a group of thirty-three interested persons, which grew to one hundred eight members within the year. Its primary objective was to be a non-profit organization for the preservation and perpetuation of the records of ancestors and families of the commonwealth, and to be of assistance to the Burton Historical Collection, Detroit Public Library. Its affairs were to be administered by an elected Board of Directors consisting of a President, Vice President, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, and Treasurer.

Members, be sure to go to the member only section and bring up the correction to the Latin translation from this issue.   One of our members, a Latin scholar, has provided a very clear interpretation of the original text -- thank you Bridget K Balint.    A formal correction will appear in the next issue.
