Happy New Year!

While we have not started the year as planned, we are just about ready to kick off our month-long virtual seminar with J. Mark Lowe.  Seminar details, including registration links, will be available soon. 

Related to the seminar, Mark will join us via Zoom on Saturday, January 18, 2025 for our monthly society meeting and will help us better understand or learn to use FamilySearch's new full text search feature.  This monthly meeting is free and open to all society members and friends. For those who want to meet in person, we will meet at Christway Commons (location  details below) and we will also have a Zoom link which will go out via email on Thursday, January 16th.  If you do not get our emails, please reach out to Erin Feathers at erin.feathers@gmail.com and she will send you the link.  The meeting will be from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.  Light refreshments will be served.

Locations and meetings

Mississippi Genealogical Society has a new meeting place -- Christway Commons at Christway Church in Flowood on Old Fannin Road.  This is the meeting area in the rear of the church -- through the parking lot, around to the right rear of the main building.  On meeting days there will be a sign indicating the door to enter.   The address is 1501 Old Fannin Road, Flowood.

MGS generally meets on the third Saturday of most months.  Previously, we meet in January, March, May, September, and November.  Now, we are adding meetings in every month except December.  These meetings will tend to be skills-building and planning sessions
