Please join us at our monthly meeting. We will be looking over several ongoing projects – cemetery walking, cemetery restoration, and Civil War soldier gravestones – plus a short business meeting. Won’t you come join us? There’s a place for you and your family history interests.
There’s no need for you to feel this way! The Madison County Genealogical Society would LOVE to talk with you about genealogy. Our next meeting is on Tuesday, April 5, at 6:30 pm at the Winterset Public Library.

Due to possible winter weather and last minute cancellations, the group decided in our November 2021 meeting to eliminate our January and February 2022 meetings. But mark your calendars for March 1, 2022 where we will kick off MCGS for the year.

The Madison County Genealogical Society will meet on Tuesday, December 7, at 6:30 pm at the Winterset Public Library. Our meeting will consist of a short business meeting to elect officers and directors for 2022 and then of loooong tales of our 2021 genealogy adventures. This is our “bring a treat to share” meeting. We will provide hot cider, plates, napkins, and utensils.
The slate for 2022 officers will look familiar, since our 2021 officers agreed to serve again: President Ken Callison, Vice President Skip Greenwood, Treasurer Pat Hochstetler, Secretary Linda Smith. We are also looking for three directors that will help make long-term decisions on the direction of the MCGS.
We hope to see you, and a munchie, there!
The Madison County Genealogical Society will meet on Tuesday, November 2, at 6:30 pm at the Winterset Public Library.
Our meeting will begin with a short PowerPoint presentation on the History of the Winterset Cemetery.
That will be followed by a short business meeting to discuss the society’s success this year and to start thinking about what to accomplish in 2022. It’s also time to look ahead for officers – president, vice president, treasurer, and secretary – for 2022. Onward and upward!
The Madison County Genealogical Society is not meeting in October. Our next meeting will be Tuesday, November 2, 6:30 pm, at the Winterset Public Library. We hope all those interested in family history will plan to attend then.
We can report that McGinnis, Peru, and St. Charles cemeteries have all been walked this year. The alphabetic name and row-by-row documentation for each is being updated and placed in the Winterset Library’s Genealogy section. Photos of recent gravestones are also being uploaded to iowagravestones.org. Many thanks to our volunteers for their dedication.
