Past: Cape Girardeau County Genealogical Society Monthly Meeting

The Cape Girardeau County Genealogical Society will meet on Tuesday, May 28, at 7:00 p.m., at the Cape Girardeau County Archive Center, located at 112 East Washington in Jackson. The program for the evening, "Hidden Treasures: Tips and Rewards for Researching in Manuscript Collections" will be presented by Bill Eddleman, Associate Director of the Cape Girardeau Research Center for The State Historical Society of Missouri. Among the records many genealogists either don't understand or never use are archival (manuscript) collections. Come and learn about these and how to find your ancestor in them!

The Cape Girardeau County Genealogical Society meets bi-monthly on the fourth Tuesday. Non-members are welcome at all meetings. Membership is $10 per year. The archive center will open at 6:30 p.m. for members to use the library for research.
