Genealogy

Every record helps reconnect a family.

Family histories and genealogical relationships are at the heart of the Society’s purpose. Our renewed work begins with records preserved from the former website and archives.

Research and preservation

Record what you know. Document what you find.

The Society encourages every family researcher to record relationships, places, dates, photographs, stories, cemetery information, and the sources behind each discovery. The value of a family archive reflects the contributions of the people who preserve it.

Material submitted for future publication will be reviewed. Information about living people will be handled carefully and will not be published without appropriate permission.
