Jefferson County Genealogical Society

Jefferson County, Missouri

The society was formed in 1995, and it was decided that we would associate ourselves with the Jefferson County Library, Northwest Branch, in High Ridge. Our focus is to enhance the library's collection, while making more genealogical records available to those searching for ancestors from Jefferson County.

The society has a general membership meeting the third Saturday of each month at the library. Guest speakers are scheduled, if available. Field trips to other genealogy libraries are sometimes scheduled.

Membership is only $12.00 a year and covers 12 months.
Start your membership during any month of the year.
We will keep track and inform members of renewal date for membership.

Benefits of membership include:

• The Society publishes a newsletter quarterly. It includes: interesting historical and genealogical items, donated articles, public records, queries and new membership information. Members are encouraged to submit family group sheets and pedigree charts for publication.
• You may write to the society, at any time regarding a specific problem. We are unable to do in-depth research for you, but will check (upon request) publications at the Jefferson County Library, Northwest Branch.
• For help in researching surnames, every new member is asked to fill out surname cards and return them to the Library where they are housed.
