The January 31 2005 newsletter was our first Internet newsletter. 
To visit our monthly newsletters, and about 5 years of back issues on our 
host web site go to www.AuSableOscodaHistoricalSociety.org. Our link is 
located on the bottom of their second page:

To read a newsletter, click the link to the Huron Shores Genealogical 
Society’s Newsletters, and then select the year/month of the 
newsletter you want to read. 
      1. To search all the newsletters for a specific word, words, or 
      phrase, go to the very bottom of second page to the search engine, and 
      enter your query. 

      2. For a SIMPLE SEARCH always select the "select all words" 
      option, and also include HSGS as one of the words. For a PHRASE SEARCH 
      select the "phrase" option and do not use HSGS as a word.
      
The search engine is hosted by Alonzo Sherman’s web site www.sherman-roots.com. 
Some Historical Society & Sherman site hits may be included with your newsletter 
search results, just ignore these. Newsletter file tiles are the best clue that 
a hit is a newsletter, as they are numerical and configured the same- Year/Month 
eg 2004’12 for December 2004. By contrast the Historical Society & Sherman 
file names are mostly alphabetical.
       
Tips: The search engine used is like a most library search engines, and 
considers a hit when all letters (left to right) in the search term is found. 
For example "dog" will return dog, dogs, doggies, dogwood etc. A person can 
print a hard copy of any newsletter from this site for about 25¢ on a home computer.
      
The HSGS’s officers hope you enjoy the additionally benefits this systems brings, 
as well as the savings of $600-700 dollars a year for printing and postage costs. 
The officer’s believe the advantages of this system far out weigh the disadvantages. 
After you try the new system for a few months please let us have your comments.
