Welcome

Hello Fellow Family Researchers!

I trust your January 2025 is off to a great start and you are finding some time to work on your family history. 

We are so excited to welcome our own Kassidy Cobb tomorrow night at 6 pm central time only on Zoom.  Kassidy will present “Moving Stones: Replacing Illegible Grave Markers”.  Kassidy has a BS in History/Creative Writing and a love for the past that inspires her to pursue her Master in History (expected 2026), and she is serious about sharing history in authentic and relatable ways.  

If you are not a member of Tri State Genealogical Society, please consider joining us for only $15.00 a year.  When you join us you help us be able to bring you quality speakers.  Click here to join.

We had planned to have an event  this Sunday, January 19, at Willard Library called “Sharing Your Family History”.  Due to illness and also problems at Willard Library with their audio/visual equipment, we are going to reschedule this event for another time very soon.  I’ll let you know as soon as we have a new date for this.

Also coming up we have scheduled:

February 11, 2025, 6:00 pm central at Willard Library and Zoom:

Jacob Eubanks from the Genealogy Center in St. Louis will speak to us about “Collateral & Cluster Research”

March 11, 2025 and April 8, 2025, 6:00 pm central at Willard Library and Zoom:

Lisa Vogele will bring us a two part series, “Point of Origin: How to Find Your Ancestral Village” and “Travel Your Tree: Walking in Your Ancestor’s Footsteps”.

We look forward to sharing these speakers with you to help you gain information needed to keep climbing your family tree.

I hope to see you on Zoom tomorrow evening at 6 pm central!

President, TSGS
