We serve historians and genealogists who are interested in the Kalamazoo River Valley region - and around the world, too.  Join us!

 Join other KVGS members and guests for our end-of-the-year celebration June 17. Instead of a skills session at 6:15 PM, please bring a snack or dessert to share with the group.  Feel free to also bring along genealogical materials that you no longer need - maps, books, newsletters from other societies - anything that you think someone else might find helpful but which you no longer need. While we socialize during the skills session time, be sure to look at what others have brought. You might find something wonderful to  take home with you. 

 

The  speaker June 17 at 7:00 PM will be our own member, Jim Jackson. He will speak about "Research  that made me Laugh Out Loud,"  which is certain to entertain us.

 

I hope you plan to attend the Genealogy Day June 22 at Kalamazoo Public Library. KVGS is partnering with KPL  for KVGS members – and the public – to research at the library with help of the library staff and KVGS members. The event lasts from 9 AM  until 4:30 PM. 

 

And, lastly, it is membership renewal time.  The KVGS year is July 1 - June 30.  You can renew on the KVGS website, at the next meeting, or with the membership form which will be in the June newsletter. Thanks to those of you who have already renewed your membership.
