Surname Database

 

IRGS has just lauched its revised Surname database which lists hundreds of surnames which are being researched by current IRGS members.  With this new feature, individuals interested in making an inquiry can send an email directly to the member who is researching the name.  The member's name and email address are not visible to the person making the inquiry.

 

IRGS members can download instructions for adding, changing, or deleting surnames.

 

Newsletter Index

 

Members can now access an index to the Indian River Genealogical Society Newsletter.  Go to the Members Only tab.  Click on the second item "Newsletter Index".    You can access issues from 2007 forward in the Members Only section.  Earlier issues are located in the Genealogy Department at the Indian River Main Library.   We apprecaite the dilligent efforts of Aurie W. Morrison in making this index possible.

IRGS schedule for the entire 2012 year is posted as a one page document.  All the monthly meeting, GIG"s and workshops are on this one sheet of paper.  Print it and you have a handy reference for all important matters concerning genealogy.
