Cape Girardeau County Genealogical Society Meeting

Our next meeting is at the Cape Girardeau County Archive Center in Jackson at 7 PM on May 26. Our program will be presented by Dr. Courtney Kisat of SEMO University's Department of History and Anthropology, on her ongoing research, "Steamboat Calamities of the Middle Mississippi River." Cape Girardeau saw its share of steamboat wrecks over the course of the heyday of river travel (1820-1890). Learn about some of these disasters, some of which may have involved your ancestors. Brief business meeting to follow. Join us!
