The Madison County Genealogical Society will meet April 4, 2023 at 6:30 pm at the Winterset Library meeting room. All are welcome to attend.

No January or February MCGS Meetings & Renewal Time

Past experience had taught us that one that one or both of these meetings are cancelled due to weather and that creates a scramble to notify members who usually attend. We have decided the best path is to pick up our meeting schedule in March of each year. In 2023 that will be Tuesday, March 6, 6:30 pm at the Winterset Public Library.

If you are an annual member, it is time to renew your membership for 2023. You can print and send the form below. Perhaps you’d like to turn your annual membership into a Lifetime membership. This helps support the work of the society plus is convenient for you.

If you are a Lifetime member and your address or email has changed, please let us know by using this site’s Contact Us form or email your new information to madisoncountyiagenealogy@gmail.com.

Hope you enjoy the winter season, no matter your temperatures. Members will receive the first quarterly newsletter in early February.
