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 met 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
