Welcome
June 29, 2026
Hello Fellow Family Researchers,
ONE……MORE……DAY……………………………………………
On Wednesday, July 1, 2026, Tri-State Genealogical Society will begin our 49th year!! For the first 43 years, the society did their quarterly publication called “The Packet”. All 43 years of The Packet are fully digitized on this website in Members Only. If you are a member, you can search all 43 years! If you are not a member, you are missing out and we would love for you to join us. At our last meeting on June 9, it was amazing when we looked at the “Relatives Around Me” on the Family Search App. I was related to about half of the people in the room! The app also shows you HOW you are related.
We discovered that three of the people on our board are cousins. It is so interesting to compare your tree with the cousin match and see how they start with a common ancestor, and where those lines split and go different directions. Sometimes we think of Evansville as a big town, but it really is not. Join us at our next meeting on September 8, 2026 to meet some of your cousins. Our speaker will be Tom Lonnberg (Evansville Museum). We will be meeting on the 2nd floor of Willard Library (for that week only). Tom will talk about “Evansville World War II Shipyards”.
On another note, we were able to fix our PayPal link so that you can renew your membership, become a member, or make a donation online. Thank you for your patience.
Have a great 4th of July and Happy 250th Birthday America!
President, Tri-State Genealogical Society
