I'm planning a quick trip for 2 days to the small town of Republic, MI to do some genealogy. I've been through the area years ago but need some hints on nearby hotel/inn accomodations, libraries, anything that may help my search. Thanks!

I've done genealogy trips to many places, and the way I start is to check for any country historical society. Republic is in Marquette, so I'd do a search there. Here's a start:

The city itself has its own history society
http://www.republicmichigan.com/History.php
and it appears they have monthly meetings at the local history museum. I'd make every possible effort to contact and meet with this group.

To find lodging:
1) use a search engine for any lodging in or nearby the city.
2) if there are any, use a travel review site to see how well any such lodgings are rated.
