Purpose
The Greene County Genealogical Society, formed in 1978, is a
non-profit, educational organization. Its purpose is: (1) to foster and
create an interest in genealogy, (2) to preserve genealogical and
historical data of our ancestors, (3) to aid individual members in
compiling family genealogies, and (4) to improve and help maintain,
through contribution of members and the Society, the genealogical
reference sections of the public libraries in Greene County.
Membership
Yearly individual $7.50.
Yearly family $10.00.
We now have lifetime memberships if desired. $75 for single, $100 for
family.
Please include name, address, phone number and list of surnames you are
researching.
Members are asked to submit a 4 or 5 generation ancestor
chart for our research files.
Meetings
January-November, 10 a.m., 1st Saturday, Jefferson Public Library -
December potluck to be announced.
Research Policy
We offer one hour of free research to new members from materials held
by the Society. There is a charge of $10 per hour for minimal research
to others. More extensive research will be done by volunteers from our
society, with charges at the discretion of the volunteer. Upon request,
we will send names and addresses of those who will research for a fee.
Don't forget to send a SASE (Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope).
