VICKSBURG
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY |
VGS was formed in 1982. It was incorporated in
1986. To learn more about our policies please
click here. The Society publishes a fully indexed quarterly journal called Mississippi River
Routes.
If you are interested in a genealogical society that encompasses
the Louisiana parishes and Mississippi counties along and near the Mississippi
River from the northern boundary of Louisiana's Florida Parishes
(Louisiana-Mississippi line) to the Louisiana-Arkansas line and beyond, the
Vicksburg Genealogical Society (VGS) is for you. We hold monthly meetings
between September and May and offer informative programs. Mississippi River
Routes is included with your annual $25-per-household membership dues
(Our membership year runs from June 1-May 31.). Each issue of Mississippi River
Routes features original documented material, including family history,
record inventories, church, public, organizational, or corporate records, Bible
records, cemetery inventories, letters, diaries, ledgers, and queries, to name
a few. We are continually recruiting new members and seeking new material for Mississippi River
Routes.
To reach the society by e-mail, please contact Tony Dardeau, Editor of Mississippi River Routes. To join VGS, submit your $25 annual membership dues to our Society mailing address:
In March and April 1996, a group of genealogists organized the
Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide a single
entry point for all counties in Kentucky where collected databases would be
stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so that
even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located
in the index. At the same time, volunteers were recruited to coordinate the
collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page.
This project soon grew into what is now the USGenWeb Project. There are now volunteers who handle the webpages at the state level and at the county level. These volunteers are working hard each day to provide the Genealogical community another way of communicating. Please contact your respective state or county coordinator if you would like to volunteer. The state coordinators for Louisiana and Mississippi are, respectively, Edward J. Hayden, Jr., and Lori Thornton .
