Hello Fellow Family History Researchers!

Please check out the menu above and you will notice some new pages on our website! We have an ongoing page for Browning Genealogy Updates.  Cheryl Herrmann has written a wonderful article about all of the things you can find on the Browning website.  This would be helpful to read through and then go to the Browning website to search for family in this area.  Cheryl also started off a new page for us with the first article about the Mesker Family.  I know you will recognize that name from our city and there are so many interesting things about this family that I had never known before.  This is under the “Featured Writers” page.  While you’re at it, why don’t you consider writing an article or short bio about your family or someone you know.  We would love to have many people contribute to this page!  The other new page we have added is the “Featured Family History Books”.  We plan to add short reviews of book about family history that you might want to check out or research.  You are also most welcome to add any that are favorites of yours or ones that you have used before that were helpful.   Our Surname Page is available to add the surnames you are researching so that others can contact you to share information or connect with other family.  You can find directions for adding names on the Surname Page.    

Submit any articles you have for the website to:

Have a great weekend and we’ll talk again soon.

President, TSGS
