Holidays and a new year

November brings the beginning of the holiday season and, for some, the hope of cooler, fall weather.  At Mississippi Genealogical Society we are making plans for the holiday season and January.  November's meeting will be a planning session for service projects.  In December we will break from meetings and other activities so that we can focus on the living members of our families and friends and our neighbors.  January will bring a month long (maybe a bit longer) seminar with MGS's friend, J. Mark Lowe.  Details about this are coming soon.

If you are on our mailing list, you will have received a link to a short survey form about service projects.  If you did not receive the email and are willing to share ideas with us, please complete the following short form -- https://forms.gle/Xa5cu75njcx46LxEA  

We would also love to showcase ideas that come from our society members and friends.  If you have a blog to share or a story about an ancestor you have researched or an upcoming event or anything family history/genealogy related, please email the information to Erin Feathers at erin.feathers@gmail.com.

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
